Note: I am not taking over this thread.   This is Puper, remove the following BHO in Safe Mode (with IE not running). O2 - BHO: HomepageBHO - {3bf1f86f-b1a8-489b-8d8b-43781d51411f} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\hpDAD4.tmp   Also, the following process is running: C:\WINDOWS\system32\mssearchnet.exe This is most likely a virus (SdBot?). It should be removed, however I did not see it listed in your HiJackThis log. It may be running from another startup location (explorer run policy?).   Remove that file in Safe mode as well.

Do you know what I should type in for vundo fix?

secured2k · Answer

The Puper trojan is something different than vundo. To remove this specific problem start your computer in safe mode and remove (move,rename,delete) the following two files.   C:\WINDOWS\system32\hpDAD4.tmp C:\WINDOWS\system32\mssearchnet.exe

Click Start Click Run Type in REGEDIT.EXE Click OK.   Locate this Registry Key: (HKLM - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE) HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\Run   Are there any values listed here?

I went into safe mode and deleted them, they respawned when I started windows again.
