| My fathers PC went unprotected and now his broswser has been hijacked. I've
| tried everything to get rid of it completely (Spy Bot, SpySweeper, Hijack
| This, Counterspy, Yumgo etc) but it just keeps coming back. So far I have
| removed over 600 viruses from his PC but this one is a devious devil.
|
| One of the web browser addresses appears as res://shdocsv.dll/blank
| and another as
http://540filost.com/randomsites.
|
| I can't access regedit in Run mode and i'm at a loss as to my next move?
| Help me Obi Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope! Anyone....please?
I hope that was...
SpyBot Search and Destroy v1.4
and
Ad-aware SE v1.06 and gthey were BOTh fully updated.
Did you scan in Safe Mode ?
I also suggest downloading, installing and updating BHODemon for any Browser Helper Objects
that may be on the PC.

In case you truly have a virus (as indicated by Regedit being disabled) please perform the
following....
Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL --
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/Multi_AV.exe
It is a self-extracting ZIP file that contains the Kixtart Script Interpreter {
http://kixtart.org Kixtart is CareWare } three batch files, five Kixtart scripts, one Link
(.LNK) file, a PDF instruction file and two utilities; UNZIP.EXE and WGET.EXE. It will
simplify the process of using; Sophos, Trend and McAfee Anti Virus Command Line Scanners to
remove viruses, Trojans and various other malware.
C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT -- { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS}
This will bring up the initial menu of choices and should be executed in Normal Mode. This
way all the components can be downloaded from each AV vendor’s web site.
The choices are; Sophos, Trend, McAfee, Exit the menu and Reboot the PC.
You can choose to go to each menu item and just download the needed files or you can
download the files and perform a scan in Normal Mode. Once you have downloaded the files
needed for each scanner you want to use, you should reboot the PC into Safe Mode [F8 key
during boot] and re-run the menu again and choose which scanner you want to run in Safe
Mode. It is suggested to run the scanners in both Safe Mode and Normal Mode.
When the menu is displayed hitting 'H' or 'h' will bring up a more comprehensive PDF help
file.
To use this utility, perform the following...
Execute; Multi_AV.exe { Note: You must use the default folder C:\AV-CLS }
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close
Execute; C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT
{ or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS }
NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go through your
FireWall to allow it to download the needed AV vendor related files.
