Posted on Yahoo hijacking Yahoo has hijacked my Google search engine. I tried changing the preference but it still is sending me to Yahoo as soon as I search in Google. It really ticks me off! #1 MentokTheMindTaker Members 2 posts OFFLINE Local time:05:11 AM Posted 06 February 2009 - 05:04 PM I have a problem and i have no idea how to fix it. I think I have a search engine hijack. Starting last night, every time I try to do an internet search, (I've tried google, yahoo, search.msn.com, and others) I keep getting fake results. What I mean is, if i type "Wikipedia" into a google or yahoo search, the results page shows URLs like "nexplore.com" "scanvirus.com" "surffast.com" "ave99.com" "sexmovie.com" and a bunch of other irelevant websites. Also, the search itself is really slow.I keep getting fake results like that no matter what I search for. Forutunatly, Ask.com seems to be working for the time being, but google, yahoo, and every other search engine I have tried are still hijacked. I've scanned my computer with Malewarebytes, Superantispyware, Spybot, McAfee viruscan, and Sophos Anti-Rootkit, and none of these programs can find the problem.Can anyone help me? I don't know what to do, and I would really appreciate it if someone can help me out. I don't really know how HijackThis or any of that stuff works (I'm not a computer expert, so I don't really know what i'm doing) so hopfully someone can walk me throgh how to fix this problem.I just downloaded and ran HijackThis and here's the log:Logfile of Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.2Scan saved at 4:48:46 PM, on 2/6/2009Platform: Windows XP SP3 (WinNT 5.01.2600)MSIE: Internet Explorer v7.00 (7.00.6000.16762)Boot mode: NormalRunning processes:C:\WINDOWS\System32\smss.exeC:\WINDOWS\system32\csrss.exeC:\WINDOWS\system32\winlogon.exeC:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exeC:\WINDOWS\system32\lsass.exeC:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exeC:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exeC:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exeC:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exeC:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exeC:\WINDOWS\system32\LEXBCES.EXEC:\WINDOWS\Explorer.EXEC:\WINDOWS\system32\spoolsv.exeC:\WINDOWS\system32\LEXPPS.EXEC:\Program Files\Analog Devices\Core\smax4pnp.exeC:\WINDOWS\system32\CTHELPER.EXEC:\Program Files\Dell\Media Experience\PCMService.exeC:\Program Files\MusicMatch\MusicMatch Jukebox\mmtask.exeC:\WINDOWS\system32\dla\tfswctrl.exeC:\Program Files\CyberLink\PowerDVD\DVDLauncher.exeC:\Program Files\Roxio\Easy CD Creator 5\DirectCD\DirectCD.exeC:\Program Files\Dell AIO Printer A920\dlbkbmgr.exeC:\PROGRA~1\VERIZO~1\HELPSU~1\VERIZO~1.EXEC:\PROGRA~1\VERIZO~1\HELPSU~1\SMARTB~1\MotiveSB.exeC:\Program Files\Dell AIO Printer A920\dlbkbmon.exeC:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Works Shared\WkUFind.exeC:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield\UpdateService\issch.exeC:\WINDOWS\wt\updater\wcmdmgr.exeC:\Program Files\McAfee.com\Agent\mcagent.exeC:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Update_OB\realsched.exeC:\Program Files\Creative\SBAudigy2ZS\Surround Mixer\CTSysVol.exeC:\Program Files\Creative\SBAudigy2ZS\DVDAudio\CTDVDDET.EXEC:\Program Files\Common Files\Verizon Online\ConnMgr\cmisrv.exeC:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exeC:\Program Files\Webroot\Washer\wwDisp.exeC:\Program Files\The Weather Channel FW\Desktop\DesktopWeather.exeC:\Program Files\DNA\btdna.exeC:\Program Files\SUPERAntiSpyware\SUPERAntiSpyware.exeC:\WINDOWS\system32\ctfmon.exeC:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\bin\AppleMobileDeviceService.exeC:\WINDOWS\system32\CTsvcCDA.EXEC:\Program Files\McAfee\SiteAdvisor\McSACore.exeC:\PROGRA~1\McAfee\MSC\mcmscsvc.exec:\program files\common files\mcafee\mna\mcnasvc.exec:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\mcafee\mcproxy\mcproxy.exeC:\PROGRA~1\McAfee\VIRUSS~1\mcshield.exeC:\Program Files\McAfee\MPF\MPFSrv.exeC:\WINDOWS\system32\nvsvc32.exeC:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exeC:\WINDOWS\system32\wdfmgr.exeC:\WINDOWS\system32\UAService7.exeC:\Program Files\Webroot\Washer\WasherSvc.exeC:\WINDOWS\System32\alg.exeC:\Program Files\Common Files\Verizon Online\AppMgr\vzOpenUIServer.exeC:\Program Files\Common Files\MotiveBrowser\MotiveBrowser.exeC:\PROGRA~1\McAfee\VIRUSS~1\mcsysmon.exeC:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\msnmsgr.exeC:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exeC:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis\HijackThis.exeC:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem\wmiprvse.exeR1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Search_URL = - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page = R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyOverride = 127.0.0.1O2 - BHO: Adobe PDF Reader Link Helper - {06849E9F-C8D7-4D59-B87D-784B7D6BE0B3} - C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\ActiveX\AcroIEHelper.dllO2 - BHO: RealPlayer Download and Record Plugin for Internet Explorer - {3049C3E9-B461-4BC5-8870-4C09146192CA} - C:\Program Files\Real\RealPlayer\rpbrowserrecordplugin.dllO2 - BHO: scriptproxy - {7DB2D5A0-7241-4E79-B68D-6309F01C5231} - C:\Program Files\McAfee\VirusScan\scriptsn.dllO2 - BHO: Google Toolbar Helper - {AA58ED58-01DD-4d91-8333-CF10577473F7} - c:\program files\google\googletoolbar3.dllO2 - BHO: McAfee SiteAdvisor BHO - {B164E929-A1B6-4A06-B104-2CD0E90A88FF} - c:\PROGRA~1\mcafee\SITEAD~1\mcieplg.dllO3 - Toolbar: Verizon Broadband Toolbar -Comments
