Hi All,
Today morning when I have logged into my computer I have found that when click the tab on internet explorer
its going to some gg.blogpear.com/vscript…
The computer is also not behaving the same way as I would have expected.
I have scanned the computer as boot time.. & also scanned the computer for malware..
To remove this hijacking issue what I have did is removed the registry entries from the below path
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AboutURLs]
& then imported the registry entries from the uninfected computer.
below are the entries that have been imported (you can just paste them in notepad & change the extension to .reg.
After that merge it into your computer…. or export the entries from uninfected computer..
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AboutURLs]
“blank”=”res://mshtml.dll/blank.htm”
“NoAdd-onsInfo”=”res://ieframe.dll/noaddoninfo.htm”
“InPrivate”=”res://ieframe.dll/inprivate.htm”
“NavigationFailure”=”res://ieframe.dll/navcancl.htm”
“NoAdd-ons”=”res://ieframe.dll/noaddon.htm”
“Home”=dword:0000010e
“PostNotCached”=”res://ieframe.dll/repost.htm”
“DesktopItemNavigationFailure”=”res://ieframe.dll/navcancl.htm”
“NavigationCanceled”=”res://ieframe.dll/navcancl.htm”
“Tabs”=”res://ieframe.dll/tabswelcome.htm”
“OfflineInformation”=”res://ieframe.dll/offcancl.htm”
“SecurityRisk”=”res://ieframe.dll/securityatrisk.htm”
I have the same problem with my tab being hijacked….can you give a step by step solution for a non-expert computer person like myself?

11. Save the file with tany name for example:- abouturl on desktop.
12. right click the saved file & change its extension to .reg
(you will only be able to change extension if extension are not hidden)–if you want to know that process as well then reply back.
12. Double click the saved file to merge it.
your issue is solved now 🙂
Thank you for you prompt response to my problem.
I will try this.
