Sorry if you have seen a lot of this one. I have searched the archive, but need some help!! I keep getting “free 6” pop ups whenever I try to start up IE. Have provided a copy of hijack this log file. Thanks in advance for assistance.

I don’t see any trace of Free6, but I do see that both your IE as well as your OS are not up-to-date. This is making your system vulnerable to malware/attacks.

3

Sorry, very much a technophobe. What do I need to do (in words of two syllables or less)!!

4

Visit THIS WEBSITE and keep going there untill ALL security patches/updates are installed.

If you also have MS-Office installed, do the same for the Office updates.

5

Hi Eddy,
Thanks for you help so far. Have updated all the security patches and downloads for XP and Office. Still having some problems with pop-ups when I start IE. Specifically - free6 and ix.se. Have sent in latest hijack this log - Can you have a look please?
Many thanks

Can you tell me what exactly these are?
C:\Program Files\iRiver\HSeries\iHPDetect.exe
C:\Program Files\CyberLink\Power2Go\Power2GoExpress.exe

I find it strange that rundll32.exe is loaded, although it is a legitimate file, mostly it is not running.

This is the result my HijackThis Log Analyzer is saying about it:

Fix at least the bad things with HijackThis and run Spybot s&d as well as Ad-Aware SE.

Eddy,
Of the two .exe files, one is for my MP3 player (I guess to detect the hardware) and the other is for my DVD player.
Anyway, I fixed / deleted all the items per Hijack this. Then ran Spybot & Ad-Aware, and…
The problem’s gone! Thanks very much for all your help. I was thinking I was going to have to start from scratch and wipe my system. A bit drastic I know. Anyway, thanks once again. I owe you a pint.

You have probably gotten rid of it by now but it seems your original post hat a script virus
Contains signature of the HTML script virus HTML/Exploit.Mhtml
good luck :slight_smile:

Thanx for the info on those two items. I will add them to my HJT Log Analyzer.

Hi GinBlossom,

don’t worry, that is just a small piece of text in the HJT-log which is part of the Exploit/Script Code but it’s harmless here
(Your AV catches it in your browsers Cache, right ?)

You’ll probably be seeing this anytime something like

O16 - DPF: {…} - m_s-i_t_s_:m_h_t_m_l:_file

is posted here or in other Boards
:wink:
