I then used WordPad to create a file in WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/ named gdiwxp.dll and set the attributes to ‘Read Only’. I did the same with gdiw2k.sys. I assumed that whatever was dumping gdiwxp.dll and/or gdiw2k.sys would not be able to overwrite my versions and so far it hasn’t been able to. My Bookmarked URL still gets hijacked but it has no effect.
Glad you got it sorted JB... where can I get the translated version? LOL!
