Some days ago I’ve installed a new software in a old Windows 2003 SBS, and after that I’ve found that I’ve installed Taplika too.
After that I’ve uninstalled correctly the related software but at the next logon…. windows server hangs at logon process…….. and I cannot get my desktop……
I found that it happens because of Taplika.com Browser Hijacker that left some goodies.

To solve.
CTRL+ALT+CANC
Run -> regedit
Search in all windows registry the term taplika and delete all the related items !

In particular in

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

I’ve found

C:\WINDOWS\system32\wscript.exe /E:vbscript /B "C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\DATIAP~1\Taplika\UpdateProc\bkup.dat

Because of this the logon process crashes

Damn Taplika: I’ve lost 3 hors !
