My system has been hijacked by searchv.com! I already tried AdAware, CWShredder and SpyBot Search & Destroy. I tried hijack this, and deleted the three entries that have to do with searchv plus the "main search page=" entry, but every time I reboot the damn thing is back as my home page! Can someone please help me, here is my Hijack log: Logfile of HijackThis v1.97.3 Scan saved at 9:24:22 PM, on 10/25/2003 Platform: Windows XP SP1 (WinNT 5.01.2600) MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 SP1 (6.00.2800.1106) R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://www.searchv.com/search.html R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://www.searchv.com/search.html R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = http://www.dellnet.com R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Connection Wizard,Shellnext = http://www.dellnet.com/ O2 - BHO: (no name) - {06849E9F-C8D7-4D59-B87D-784B7D6BE0B3} - C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 5.0\Reader\ActiveX\AcroIEHelper.ocx O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ATIModeChange] Ati2mdxx.exe O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [CARPService] carpserv.exe O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SynTPLpr] C:\Program Files\Synaptics\SynTP\SynTPLpr.exe O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SynTPEnh] C:\Program Files\Synaptics\SynTP\SynTPEnh.exe O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ATIPTA] C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\ATI Control Panel\atiptaxx.exe O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [DadApp] C:\Program Files\Dell\AccessDirect\dadapp.exe O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [DVDSentry] C:\WINDOWS\System32\DSentry.exe O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [MSMSGS] "C:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe" /background O4 - Global Startup: Adobe Gamma Loader.exe.lnk = C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Calibration\Adobe Gamma Loader.exe O4 - Global Startup: Dell Control Utility.lnk = C:\Program Files\TM1184\ControlUtility\ControlUtility.exe O4 - Global Startup: Digital Line Detect.lnk = ?

Run HijackThis! again, close all windows except HT, place a check in and "fix checked items" as follows: R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar=http:/www.searchv.com/search.html R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant=http://www.searchv.com/search.html Reboot when done. Run Spybot Search and Destroy and AdAware as well. Also, if you like, check the feature in Spybot that locks your homepage.

Forgot: Do a search for: Winshow Delete. Also, look at the following: Info

I found noe of the dlls, exes, or folders on my XP machine. However, in a DOS window, using EDIT, I removed from the hosts file in my System directory the line 209.66.114.130 I am a rank beginning, but I hope this helps.
