Browser "Take Over"

[Ralph]

My Internet Explorer has been modified (not my doing)
such that every time I open it I have an annoying home
page with a URL of res://gdkau.dll. Changing my internet
home page works for the duration of the current session,
but on re-starting it reverts to the above-mentioned home
page. How do I get rid of this pirate home page?

Hi Ralph,

Ongoing problem. The DLL names varies in every case and there is a background application regenerating the DLL. You may generate a log out of HijackThis and post in any of these forums:

www.spywareinfo.com
forum.aumha.org

If you're are going to troubleshoot it yourself, generate a HJT log and look at the startup entries (the names may be in random order hjjk.exe, nhgk.exe etc). Locate those odd ones (and other suspicious entries). First *terminate* those entries from Task Manager and then fix the entries using HijackThis.
