mntbo.dll ???

[Anonymous]

I've gotten attached by some piece of Spyware that I can't get rid of.

Every time my IE 6.0 browser opens up, it defaults to a "web page" called

res://mntbo.dll/index.html#12802

I've tried EVERYTHING to get rid of it including:

- multiple consecutive runs of Norton AV 2004
- manual registry cleaning of all references to "mntbo"
- deletion of the mntbo.dll file from my hard drive

Any clues?

Thanks!

Download and install, then you *MUST* update the programs prior to running
to be sure they have the latest definitions, then run the programs below.
They are free and very effective. Be sure to run both SpyBot and Adaware,
as what one does not detect the other may. It is important that you do all
the steps and follow all
directions carefully:

You can go to the links below to check your system for parasites
http://aumha.org/a/noads.htm
http://inetexplorer.mvps.org/parasite.htm

Be aware that even if nothing shows at these sites does not mean that your
system is clean, only that it does not have the type of normal parasites
these sites are programmed to detect. Be sure to continue with the programs
below to make sure your system is totally free of all scumware.

IMPORTANT:
Before trying to remove spyware, download a copy of LSPFIX from
the URL below - some malware may kill your internet connection when it is
removed, this program will enable you to regain your connection.

If the above does not resolve the problem, post back here with the details
of the results and exact wording of any error messages. Also, what version
of Windows you are running.

Hope this helps.

Find and dowload adaware, spybot, and cwshredder.
Make sure you update before you run.
Delete or fix anything they recommend that you delete or fix.
Run them in safe mode.
NAV won't touch spyware.
I also like Zone Alarm in the loop.
Beyond that is a progran called Hijack This. That will run and then
print out your full registry.
A site called Computercops can analyze your registry for you. They are
very very busy so it takes a creative subject line to get their
attention sometimes.
Been there, done all this, things a lot better now but it was a lot of
work. I'm strictly an ameteur but am learning a lot on the subjec.
Also, Google mntbo.dll. May find some helpful hints there.

Doug
Good Luck

Go to to www.winpatrol.com ... download the free WinPatrol
and set it up ... it stops cold the hijacks and other malware
out there now .... nothing can be changed in registry nor any
new software without you knowing about it 1st. ... you can
shut out the junk real fast ... has save my butt many times

The new version of AdAware should take of this new parasite.

This may be caused by a third-party program (adware, spyware, parasite).
Get AdAware and SpyBot and run them both. Keep them up to date.
