Autosearch malfunction (WXP-Pro)

[jbarresi]

I had been hijacked by a web page(yogee?) when i type a term to searh in the url line. I searched here on Winguides and found somebody with a similar problem. It was suggested to them that they download and run spybot and that should solve the problem. Well it didn't... Now when I type whatever into the url box it automatically tries to open http://whatever.com I have searched some registry tweaks and values but have come up empty. Anybody know what the problem could be?

Get hijackthis utility and post scan result log to forum "viruses, worms and trojans". Maybe metallica or rjmac can help you.

Thanks for the info. I have since discovered that I had system restore enabled and was able to go back a few days and restore(funny, I thought I had turend that thing off). Now to figure out where that "hijack" came from....I downloaded and following is post log form hijackthis. I have a feeling that the original hijack is gone but doesn't hurt to see if anything else I should worry about. BTW the two search pages I was directed to was yohgee.com and clear-search.com...

Good job.
I would have HijackThis remove this one but that is all I see.
Run HT, close all browser windows put a check in
