PC that can't Google
One of our VPs brought in his company-supplied home PC (Dell Optiplex WinXP Pro SP3). Said it was slow and something had changed his home page and he couldn't change it back. He also said he couldn't access Google. His home page had been taken over by My Web Search. I checked the Vipre quarantine and parts of My Web Search had been removed so I could uninstall it. I ran a Vipre deep scan and installed the latest version of Malwarebytes and ran its deep scan as well. It detected a number of registry My Web Search entries. Everything seemed to be running smoothly and much quicker after the scanning and deleting. My Web Search was gone but the Google problem persists. Using either Firefox or IE, you can access any website with out problem accept Google.com. At the command prompt, you can ping or tracert any website and it will resolve the name to it's IP address, accept Google.com. Google.com just times out with the error that the host name could not be found. I've checked there is no lmhost file. I've also ran ipconfig The PC is attached to our work network and through DHCP has picked up our standard DNS server to use. Everyone else can get to Google.com.

Re: PC that can't Google
+1 on checking %SYSTEM%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts What IP address is it trying to reach when you do this? It will be easy to figure out if it's an IP that belongs to Google or to a malevolent third party. That said, I'm of the belief that once malware gets onto your machine, it is no longer your machine... backup documents and re-image.

RE: PC that can't Google
Likely the hosts file is hidden. attrib -s -h -r c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts Then open it in notepad Lately seeing the bad hosts entries at very bottom of hosts file after about 100 blank lines. Once in a while too I see the ACLs changed on the hosts file to make difficulty in editing it. Restore ACLs then remove the bad hosts.

RE: PC that can't Google
Interesting. Originally I searched for hosts on the C Drive and nothing showed up. Now I've navigated to windows\system32\drivers\etc, there's the hosts file. I can open it and it looks like the default hosts files with one exception, the last line is ::1 I tried to edit this out but was denied even though I'm logged in as the local administrator. I went to the command prompt and ran attrib on it and it show as an SHR. Checking another PC and normally this file doesn't have these attributes. I tried to change the attributes but still no luck. Finally, I tried renaming the hosts files to hosts.junk and that worked. Go figure. Then I copied a default hosts file from a different PC and that enabled Google.com. I don't have a clue as to why this fixed the problem. -- Bob Hartung Dir of I.T.

Outlook client cannot connect to Exchange
Outlook 2003 client can not connect to Exchange 2003. I have removed profile and allowed it to recreate. I have run outlook /resetnavpane I have run outlook /safemode I can not get the user to reconnect to Exchange. I have logged onto that workstation and connected to my email first try? I have had the user try and connect on a different machine and they still failed? Exchange is throwing a 9646 event each time they try to connect but they never actually get connected???

RE: PC that can't Google
Interesting. Originally I searched for hosts on the C Drive and nothing showed up. Now I've navigated to windows\system32\drivers\etc, there's the hosts file. I can open it and it looks like the default hosts files with one exception, the last line is ::1 I tried to edit this out but was denied even though I'm logged in as the local administrator. I went to the command prompt and ran attrib on it and it show as an SHR. Checking another PC and normally this file doesn't have these attributes. I tried to change the attributes but still no luck. Finally, I tried renaming the hosts files to hosts.junk and that worked. Go figure. Then I copied a default hosts file from a different PC and that enabled Google.com.

Safe Mode is still depending on a computer *you know is compromised*. All sorts of malware is known which can still subvert the machine in Safe Mode. Remove the drive, attach the drive as a secondary drive to a known-clean computer, and scan it using the known-clean computer's software.

Re: PC that can't Google
You've still got a nasty infection. Take the hard drive out, slave it to another machine, scan it with at least two different anti-malware packages, save the documents only after scanning, and if you don't want to put a new hard drive in it, delete the partition and rebuild the machine from scratch.

RE: PC that can't Google
For future use: Right-click on Notepad and choose “Run as Administrator”, then you can open/edit/save the hosts file with Notepad. And yes you need to do this even if you’re already logged in as a local admin. I would be VERY suspect of a machine with a compromised HOSTS file. If you don’t want to flatten/rebuild it (the recommended action), do run a rootkit scan.

Correction, apply 1012.msp to a fresh 1010.msi AIP. Not one that had previously been updated with the 1011 msp. It should be possible to do what I said, but it won't do it.

Said it was slow and something had changed his home page and he couldn't change it back. He also said he couldn't access Google. His home page had been taken over by My Web Search. I checked the Vipre quarantine and parts of My Web Search had been removed so I could uninstall it. I ran a Vipre deep scan and installed the latest version of Malwarebytes and ran its deep scan as well. It detected a number of registry My Web Search entries. Everything seemed to be running smoothly and much quicker after the scanning and deleting. My Web Search was gone but the Google problem persists. Using either Firefox or IE, you can access any website with out problem accept Google.com. At the command prompt, you can ping or tracert any website and it will resolve the name to it's IP address, accept Google.com. Google.com just times out with the error that the host name could not be found. I've checked there is no lmhost file. I've also ran ipconfig The PC is attached to our work network and through DHCP has picked up our standard DNS server to use. Everyone else can get to Google.com. What else could be interfering on just the Google.com name? -- Bob Hartung Dir of I.T.

Re: OT - Home Router ideas?
I have an Airport Extreme purely because it was the first to have wideband 5 GHz. Very meh overall and I wouldn't recommend now... no QoS or traffic shaping, no DDNS, only the thinnest DNS or DHCP features, no scheduled access control, must reboot for simple things like changing port forwarding. My preference is for something that can run the excellent Tomato firmware.

+ a metric ton for Tomato. And for polarcloud (http://polarcloud.com/) in general, the developer of Tomato firmware. If you have use for it, the same gentleman distributes Rikaichan, which is a truly amazing bit of free software. (Just like Tomato.)
