Re: Browser Hijack!!


It wouldn't hurt to post the HijackThis log. There could be other more subtle parasites present, or some housecleaning needed. I think the assumption here is Qhosts, but if it wasn't, it would be helpful to see what the various Search registry keys are pointing to. If a search option is hijacked to point at hijacksearchadware.com and that address is being blocked by the Hosts file (so the "cannot be displayed" screen would appear), the user wouldn't want to alter their Hosts file, but fix the registry keys instead ...
