We need you to download and install an analysis and repair tool called Hijackthis.

Go here and download the file: http://tomcoyote.com/hjt

Please unzip Hijackthis.zip into a new folder you create in the root (first) level of the C: drive. Name this folder HJT for best and safest results. (don't unzip it into a temp folder or run the file from a temp folder, or the Windows Desktop, etc...as it needs a safe folder to keep backup logs). Also when people post here and place it on the Desktop the log usually shows their full name since their Windows user profile is commonly named with their full name. We try not to disturb your privacy. *;-)

See this link for graphical instruction: http://russelltexas.com/spywareinfo/createhjtfolder.htm

See my entire Hijackthis FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) at:

http://www.russelltexas.com/spywareinfo/faqhijackthis.htm

After downloading, and unzipping the hijackthis file into a safe folder you create (preferably a folder named HJT in the first level of the C: drive)...run Hijackthis, click on the 'scan' button and then 'save log' button.

Copy and paste the contents of the text file you save into a reply to this message. A lot of posters make mistakes here in copying and pasting so reread the left info sidebar called Copy and Paste at http://www.tomcoyote.com/hjt

Special Notice! Hijackthis is a powerful tool that edits the brains of Windows (the Registry). DO NOT FIX anything in the Hijackthis log screen without assistance from the experts! Most of the line items in the scanned log are normal for Windows operation. Hijackthis should identify the vast majority of your problems and enable us to help you clean them off your system.


Stay in this thread for continuity. Reply to this message.

You have a CoolWebsearch infection.

Get CW Shredder to repair your CoolWebSearch infestations:
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip version 1.57.0

Follow the directions for running the program at the next link.

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/index.php?showtutorial=47

At bleepingcomputer.com start reading at the section that says:

You can download this program here: CWShredder

(Note...we have noticed recently some CWS variants are harder to remove unless the shredder is run in Safe Mode...hit F8 while booting to enter Safe Mode and run the shredder.) Make sure you FIX any items it finds!

After cleaning with the shredder in Safe Mode do this:

Reboot in normal mode Windows and download and run these two programs (Spybot S&D and Adaware). Use Spybot first. (1.3 version)
http://majorgeeks.com/download2471.html

Follow the directions completely at:

http://www.cjwd.demon.co.uk/spybot-adaware.html

Reboot if asked by either program and let it complete any cleanup. Then reboot a final time after running both and run Windows Disk Cleanup: Start/Run/ type: cleanmgr

I check all the categories at the end of the scan and click OK.

Then reboot and make a new hijackthis folder and move your hijackthis.exe file into it.

Please create a new folder named HJT in the first level of the C: drive. Copy or move the hijackthis executable file into the HJT folder and delete all other zip copies and extracted copies elsewhere.

See FAQ's 2,3,4 at http://www.russelltexas.com/spywareinfo/faqhijackthis.htm

Post back with a new log as a reply to this message (stay in this message posting thread for continuity). Most of your infections will be addressed with these tools, but you must follow the directions exactly to make final manual cleanup easier.

Solongas.com (a CoolWebSearch infection) hangs on. Let's try Merijn's brandnew 1.59 version of CWS shredder and see if we can wax that dude. We'll also pull out the big guns for a thorough cleanup (Spybot and Adaware)

You have a CoolWebsearch infection.

Get CW Shredder to repair your CoolWebSearch infestations:
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip version 1.59.0

Follow the directions for running the program at the next link.

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/index.php?showtutorial=47

At bleepingcomputer.com start reading at the section that says:

You can download this program here: CWShredder

(Note...we have noticed recently some CWS variants are harder to remove unless the shredder is run in Safe Mode...hit F8 while booting to enter Safe Mode and run the shredder.) Make sure you FIX any items it finds!

After cleaning with the shredder in Safe Mode do this:

Reboot in normal mode Windows and download and run these two programs (Spybot S&D and Adaware). Use Spybot first. (1.3 version)
http://majorgeeks.com/download2471.html

Follow the directions completely at:

http://www.cjwd.demon.co.uk/spybot-adaware.html

Go slow on the instructions to set up the custom scan options for Adaware. These settings will be retained for future custom scans so don't go nuts thinking you have to do this every time you run it!

Reboot if asked by either program and let it complete any cleanup. Then reboot a final time after running both and run Windows Disk Cleanup: Start/Run/ type: cleanmgr

I check all the categories at the end of the scan and click OK.

After cleaning do a final reboot and run Hijackthis again. If still present check, and fix checked these:

Reboot and browse a bit, then post a new HJT log. Report any issues.

All the best,

Looks like Merijn's new shredder is A-OK! Good job!

One little harmless orphan entry...fix check it in Hijackthis:

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {A9A674BF-771F-42E5-A440-D20DDA85A862} - (no file)

You look clean and hearty congratulations!

1. The main cleanup programs:

(the three free programs in Items 2 and 3 bolded below are a MUST in my opinion)

Spybot Search&dDestroy, Ad-aware Run weekly - or after a heavy internet session.

Chris has posted an excellent tutorial by dgosling on how to run Spybot S&D and also how to enable customized deep scanning functions for Adaware. Once you set these options they will be retained for future scans by Adaware.

Follow the directions in this detailed guide for Spybot and Adaware...go slow on the directions for the custom setup of Adaware:

http://www.cjwd.demon.co.uk/spybot-adaware.html

I also like to run Windows Disk Cleanup after cleaning with those two tools. Make sure you reboot if any reboot cleanup functions of Spybot and Adaware are advised by these tools (this may happen at the end of their cleanup).

Reboot and click on Start/Run/ type: cleanmgr

If you have problems with Disk Cleanup hanging and not completing see this page for XP users:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;812248

Or try this fix: http://www2.whidbey.net/djdenham/DeleteOldFiles.htm

From MS Help: "Disk Cleanup helps free up space on your hard drive. Disk Cleanup searches your drive, and then shows you temporary files, Internet cache files, and unnecessary program files that you can safely delete. You can direct Disk Cleanup to delete some or all of those files."

I check all the selected categories and click OK at the end of Disk Cleanup.

If you have any problems with Disk Cleaner completing...XP users can fix it here:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;812248

Or try this fix: http://www2.whidbey.net/djdenham/DeleteOldFiles.htm

2. Proactive programs: Spywareblaster & Spywareguard, first sets kill bits to stop known bad MSIE ActiveX scripts from installing, second acts like your AV to stop browser hijacks and installing of known baddies.

3. IE-Spyad, puts 4000 bad sites in your restricted (banned) sites list, to stop you accidentally getting sent to a bad site, it has optional list of "bad" adult sites to install as well.

Links for these at: http://www.cjwd.demon.co.uk/compsafetyonline.html

4. Don't forget keeping Windows updated. The automatic updates frequently fail so run it manually once a week or when new updates are publicized.

Windows Live Update Page
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp
Free Windows Security CD (for those who qualify):
www.microsoft.com/security/protect/cd/order.asp

You can also start Windows Update by running Internet Explorer, pulling down Tools on top Menu bar and selecting Windows Update. Install ALL critical updates! Always!

If LiveUpdate fails (and it is prone to on MANY machines) download each patch manually from the MS advisory pages and install manually. Works for me!

5. Keep your antivirus updated.
Free AVG Antivirus for home users: http://www.grisoft.com

6. Beg, borrow, or buy a Software Firewall if at all possible. I use Norton Internet Security 2004 and it has saved my bacon more times than I can count. For a free software firewall turn on the fairly lame firewall in Windows XP (I say it is lame because it does not monitor or block outgoing traffic...only incoming...a serious omission if the threat occurs inside your network). Hopefully with the upcoming Service Pack 2 this flaw will be addressed.

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/community/columns/5min/5min-101.mspx#XSLTsection125121120120

A better choice for now for a free software firewall is Zone Alarm.

7. Practice safe computer habits. Don't click on strange email attachments thinking your AV will defend you. Usually it will. Sometimes it won't when a new virus hits the Net and definitions take hours to create by the AV vendors. There is only one defense that works 100% for the safe protection of your machine's personal data and that is timely and accurate backups of your files. Hard drives die, viruses ruin your files, and other bad things can happen (fire, theft, etc..). Offsite backups are the best.

8. Don't forget our great analysis tool Hijackthis. We have a lot of gratitude we need to show towards the author Merijn. I hope he does great things in his future endeavors and is richly rewarded for his time and expertise in providing this super program.

Hijackthis (to analyse your system and submit a log file to expert forums):
http://tomcoyote.com/hjt

(for Hijackthis logs...please copy to and run Hijackthis.exe into a new folder you create in the root level of the C: drive. Name this folder HJT for best and safest results). (don't put in a Local Settings Temp folder, or the Windows desktop, etc...as it needs a safe folder to keep backup logs). Also when XP and W2K users post here and place it in the Local Settings, the log usually shows their full name since their Windows user profile is commonly named with their full name. We try not to disturb your privacy. *;-)
