I had a heck of a time deleting Evidence Eliminator from homepage. Now I have two raunchy web addresses that show up in history/address bar every time the computer is rebooted. Clearing the history only works while the computer is on during that session. Have posted hijack log below. thanks.

If you haven't already, download CProcess from http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/cprocess.html - this will give you a much more detailed look at the running processes, as it also lists the library files being utilized by each process. Processes or libraries highlighted in pink should be examined first - they may be malware related, maybe not. I've come across a few pieces of malware which left no trace in the Hijackthis log. The only way I found them was by looking at the libraries utilized by the Windows processes. A piece of malware does not need its own application in order to be loaded. Quite often they simple "hook into" the Explorer.exe or another "normal" Windows process. If you find an oddball library being loaded in the CProcess tool, scroll to the right and it will show you the location of the file. You might want to check the modification timestamps for files in the \WINNT and \WINNT\SYSTEM32 folders. Looks for files in those directories that were modified around the time that all this started. If you find anything you suspect is malware in CProcess, highlight the process and click "File" -> "Save Process Modules". Copy the contents of the resulting file to this site. Also, are you using IE or Firefox? |

One more thing. I seriously doubt this will solve your current problem, but you should update your machine to Win2K SP4 and make sure you're keeping it patched via Windows Update. I noticed that your HJT log said Win2K SP2. |
