SD & Internet Explorer 7

[antontonkovic]

I just removed SD 336 becauuse of very long (full scans) I have been getting
(4 hrs plus.) I then uninstalled it and installed SD 322. Now my brouwser is affected. I cant use my "favourites" to load any programs, it just flashes the google page on and off and I get a message to "send to Microsoft"
During SD installation I did not check the "google tool bars" so I dont know how it happened. I can mannually type my favourite in google and it seems to be working OK, but when I click on my favourites, the pages wont load.

I ran a full scan and SD did not detect any infections, however I did get a blue pop up from SD saying than a malwre was detected an asked me to send it to their lab for analysis.

At the top of the google page in the blue line it usually says "Microsoft Internet Explorer", but now it says "Google Microsoft Internet Explorer"

The same problem exists even when there is no SD installed on my computer

How do I remove google from my web brouwser? I am using IE7

Am I infected or is their a conflict with google and IE7?

Any help would be much appreciated

Hi
Lets just see what browser plugins you have:
Please download Hijack This (http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/threat_analytics/HJTInstall.exe)

Doubleclick HJTInstall.exe to install it.
By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis.
Click on Install.
It will create a HijackThis icon on the desktop.
Once installed, it will launch Hijackthis.
Click on the Do a system scan and save a logfile button. It will scan and the log should open in notepad.
Copy/Paste the log to your next reply please.
Don't use the Analyse This button, its findings are dangerous if misinterpreted.
Don't have Hijackthis fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.

Hi Matt, I clicked on the "Highjackthis" link but the page would not load, it just briefly flashes the SD Forum page on and off every 20 seconds or so.
I think it is trying to load but it fails. At times it is very unstable and closes the the page i'm looking at.


I forgot to mention that the sites stored in the address bar at the top of the screen wont load either.

What ele can I do?

Hi Matt, I finally got to the "Trend Micro HijackThis" page but when I click on the download exec link, it wont load the page. The screen just flashes the Trent Micro HijackThis page on and off. (Appearing and dissappearing on and off).

Hi
The link I posted is direct to the download of the installer, there is no need to visit the Trend Micro website. Can you try again please?

Everthing is working ok now. I reinstalled IE7 and my favourites are loading once again. I can only guess that my IE7 was corrupted somehow.

Thank for your help Matt.
