While you move across many forums, you may be adviced to
download loads of adware & spyware detectors. My personal
experience is none of them are going to help kill this issue.
If you truly want to get rid of this startpage.trojan, will
have to put some effort of your own.
Startpage.trojan is the result of a file "sp.dll" in the temp
folder which opens a startpage with caption "search for....". The file sp.dll is created by a dll file and an application
file in system 32 folder both which differs in name from
machines to machines. So there you are left with little
chances to search by name.
The only option remains is search by date (guess the date when
symptoms started). There should be two files; a dll file which
is associated to Explorer.exe and an exe file for which the
date of creation would be same.
Delete or move both the files.
The problem should be resolved.
It's difficult to give a good answer to this question. There are a lot of trojans with the name StartPage. They all have something in common ... they haijck your browser, making normal internet-browsing almost impossible. The file leimbag.dll is probably one of the trojan's files. A lot of the StartPage-trojans are recognized by Symantec. If you have a Symantec virusscanner, do a complete system-scan. If not, use the Symantec Online virusscanner to scan your system for virusses: security.symantec Good luck, Jahewi :-)

Here's what I did..."try at your own risk": The Trojan notepad.exe is a bogus, so I simply deleted it. You may have to cut/paste to your desktop in order to delete it. Now do a search for notepad.exe on your C: drive. Or you may have to search manually. After you have found the "real" notepad.exe open a notepad document. Windows will say it cannot locate notepad.exe because the Trojan had windows configured to open the bogus notepad to the shortcut, and you have deleted it. Simply click browse and direct windows to the "real" notepad.exe...That's it. Windows will configure the shortcut back to the real notepad.
