my default homepage setting was yahoo.com. now, eveytime i got to yahoo.com or msn.com, i get ridirected to royalsearch.net. i called my computer technical support and they say it's due to a spyware in my system. any of you know how to rid of this crap?

Start by downloading and running Spybot Search and Destroy: SS&D
Also download and run AdAware: AA
These two programs will help you get rid of a number of parasites and other dubious entries lurking in your PC.
After running the two utilities above, download and run HijackThis!: HT!
Return and post the results of your HijackThis! log to identify any other entries in need of attention or removal.

You have a trojan, follow the instructions and removal instructions carefully -
Symantec article -- VBS.Bootconf.
If you don't have your own anti virus software run a couple of online scans - TrendMicro - Housecall and Panda Active Scan
But before that disable system restore. After the scans have completed re enable it.
Then run Ad-aware6 and Spybot S&D.

thanks for the advice...i ran ad-aware and spybot but the page still loads to royalsearch.net. i'm not sure what to do now

yes and no...i followed it all the way up to step k but then the setup between mine and the instructions were completely different...i mean, i don't have those values that the symantec articles told me to change...like this one down here
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
In the right pane, delete the values:"Start Page" = "www.royalsearch.net"
"Search Page" = "www.royalsearch.net/search.html"
"Default_Page_URL" = "www.royalsearch.net"
"Default_Search_URL" = "www.royalsearch.net/search.html"
Navigate to the key:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search
In the right pane, delete the values:"SearchAssistant" = "www.royalsearch.net/search.html"
"CustomizeSearch" = "www.royalsearch.net/search.html"
"Default_Search_URL" = "www.royalsearch.net/search.html"
Exit the Registry Editor.]

ok...i've already established myself as a fool so i won't hold back on my idiot questions...HOW? how do i do the searches?

seksae, download and run cwshredder,
just save to desktop and double click
the zip file to open using windows ME.http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip
Reboot after it has run.

Hi Seksae
To search your registry,click Start then Run then Type "Regedit" then "OK". when it opens click on the "edit" tab, click on find,type what your looking for. Happy hunting...Jim H.

If you want to get rid of the hijacker, as stated before, download and run HijackThis! HT!
Return and post the results of your HijackThis! log to identify entries in need of attention or removal.

Sorry, did not see your zip problem post.
Try this;
cwshredderFZWG, no disrespect from me, I can provide
a before and after log file.He has a zip file problem, hopefully
Michael's answer helped.

seksae,
so, please tell me, how did you finally get rid of royalsearch.net? I am also experiencing this same problem running windows xp home version. It is driving me crazy.
kclo

well, i ran ad-aware and spybot...took some crap out of my comp but the real deal is hijack this...that works man...just dl it and fix everything that u see that has royalsearch.net in it

Aha!!!
Glad you used that proggie and got rid of the hijacker. ;-)
Posting its log normally gets the best results, but if you are satisfied with the outcome, thumbs up.

Just making sure you got it all.
Before cwshredder.

Hey all... I'm having the same problem as the original poster, but for some reason I'm unable to fix it. I've tried using HijackThis... it finds the royalsearch.net problems, and I can check and fix them, but when I restart the computer they reappear. I would think disabling system restore like viking says in the 3rd post would fix it, but it doesn't seem to have any effect. Any advice? I'm attaching my log too...

Hi I have been having the same problem as every one else. I thought I had gotten rid of it, but it came back. I ran Hijack this and am attaching my log file so somebody can tell me what to remove. This thing is driving me nuts, but the positve side is that it has increased my knowledge of my computer tenfold.
Thanks, any help will be greatly appreciated.Logfile of HijackThis v1.97.7

Holy schmollie!!
Would recommend that before posting a HijackThis! log, download and run Spybot Search and Destroy: SS&D
And, also download and run AdAware: AA
These two programs will help you get rid of a number of parasites and other dubious entries lurking in your PC.
Another suggestion is to start your own post. It may get better attention than one buried in someone elses. ;-)

I'm also trying to remove the royalsearch
trojan horse. My problem is that I'm running
a 233 Mhz Pentium w/48 Mb ram, and a Windows
95 operating system. I have Hijack this
installed successfully. but Ad-aware won't
run in windows 95, and spybot S&D has a startup message saying I'm missing a
WS2_32.DLL file, and won't open.Any ideas ??????

As suggested above, start your own post. It may get better attention than one buried in someone elses. ;-)

Hi PK7
I fixed those, and all of the other obvious entries im just wondering if theres anything else in the log file thats not so obvious that I might have missed. I ran adaware, spybot S&D, and Hijack This. Just wondering if theres some other entries that showed up on the log file that I should have fixed but didnt.

I don't know if someone else fielded this, but the bloody hosts file. I found this page by trying to help out another, I suggested he edit his hosts file and it was had set yahoo, google, msn, and a number of other sites to to 66.98.142.163 ..which IS the royalsearch site. If this is the prob remaining and all registry infected files have been removed, just delete that file from your windows directory. It's only purpose is to tell your computer the IP address of names. Most people have none unless you want to fine tune and kill ad sites that way. Open it in notepad to be sure .. but you can delete it or put in your own preferences, just get rid of the bogus entries to 66.98.142.163 .

Can you help me...ive used hijack this,adaware and spybot and I ran hijack this and deleted everything that said royalsearch.net this and the host files. My computer is fine and I can use search engines, but when i resart my computer it goes back to the way it was and i have to delete the files all over again. I suspect I still have to delete some files to get rid of the whole problem but I dont know which ones. Attached is my files that turn up when I run Hijack this Logfile of HijackThis v1.97.7

mmmmmmm,
Try the following:
Do a search for and delete the file called 'msoffice.hta' (It writes to the hosts file.)Also, search for msoffice.hta in the registry (HKEY_LOCAL MACHINE\Windows\Run) and delete the key.
Run MSconfig and check the Startup tab. If there, uncheck the reference to msoffice.hta
Set default homepage in browser and reboot.

I had this same problem with royalsearch.net, and though the original problem has been remedied, I'm posting my Hijack This log just in case there's something that I might have missed.

HijackThis! identifies these entries (O10) as Winsock hijackers.
