see anything that might be a problem? :scratch:

Hi infernolayer,

Welcome to TomCoyote Forums. I assume this is the same machine as you posted a log on a few hours ago. However there is so much less here that I'm wondering just what you did in the interval; did you remove a lot of stuff? Including your Anti-Virus protection? Please give us some information on that.

Since you are now without protection, I'll suggest you begin with a couple of FREE online scans for viruses, worms and trojans. Each of the sites I'm providing links to will install a file on yur computer to rn the scans; let them, they're safe. Be sure to put a check in the box to FIX ANYTHING FOUND, and be sure the scans cover your ENTIRE COMPUTER. Reboot after each scan. If there is anythinfg found that can't be cleaned, please write down the FULL PATHS AND FILENAMES and post that information with your next log.

Next, open your Control Panel and click on the "Add/Remove programs" icon. If there are any programs you DO NOT BOTH RECOGNIZE AND WANT, DELETE THEM! Especially, remove MyWebSearch or anything that's a variant of that neme- it's a hijacker. (DO NOT delete your Windows and Internet Explorer updates, which are listed with a "Q" and a bunch of numbers.) Then reboot your computer.

Next, we need to address the CoolWebSearch parasite you've picked up somewhere. Go to this site http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip and download CWShredder. Unzip it to any convenient PERMANENT folder (such as C:\CWS) and run it. Click on "Search for Updates" and install any it finds. Then REBOOT INTO SAFE MODE(press F8 after the BIOS loads), restart CWShredder and click on FIX (not SCAN, which will NOT fix anything), and let it fix everything it finds. Follow the prompts, and do as it says.

When it finishes, REBOOT INTO SAFE MODE AND RUN IT AGAIN. This time it shouldn't find anything; this is a "Just-In-Case" procedure to be sure we've killed it, because this thing is mean and tricky.

Now reboot into Normal Mode and post a fresh log so we can see what to do next; there's still quite a bit of work here.

Hi infernolayer,

I'm glad those scans came out clean- now you need to get some protection in place, or you're going to get MUGGED every time you go on the Internet.

Here are links for some excellent firewall and anti-virus programs; they are FREEWARE. I recommend downloading them and installing them ASAP:

http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_dwnl_free.php (Anti-Virus)
http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/comp…reeDownload.jsp (Firewall)

Before we start the cleanup process, however, I must ask you to remove your Selective Startup. In order for HijackThis to find anything, it MUST BE RUNNING. If it's kept from starting, we cannot find it to remove it. This is just for diagnostic purposes; after the fix is completed, you may use the Selective Startup to tailor the system to your preferences again.

Please reinstate the full startup list and reboot, then post a fresh log so we can see the true extent of your problem; I'm afraid there's more there than I can see at this time. Thank you for your cooperation.

Hi infernolayer,

Thanks for the complete log. Now let's get our hands dirty and clean out the henhouse. Start HijackThis, CLOSE YOUR BROWSER AND ALL WINDOWS EXCEPT THE ONE IT'S RUNNING IN, and put a check in the box at the left end of ONLY the lines below. Then click on FIX CHECKED and let it run.

(THIS IS A HIJACKER)

When the program finishes, reboot into SAFE MODE (press F8 after the BIOS loads). Be sure you are configured to SHOW ALL FILES AND FOLDERS, including System and Hidden Files. If you don't know how to do that, follow this link: http://www.xtra.co.nz/help/0,,4155-1916458,00.html and follow the step-by-step directions for your Windows version.

Now find and DELETE the following folders (IF they are still there):

C:\FREESCAN\
C:\PROGRAM FILES\MYWEBSEARCH\
C:\PROGRAM FILES\Srng\
C:\PROGRAM FILES\SYSTEM SOAP PRO\

REBOOT into Normal Mode and post a fresh log so we can see what else may be needed.

Hi infernolayer,

That looks good. CONGRATULATIONS! GOOD WORK! :thumbup:

Now, if your computer is acting normally, I'd say you're clear. The next thing you need to do is flush out all of your old Restore Points, to be sure you don't get reinfected if you must Restore your system. If you don't know how to do that, here's the basic procedure, along with a link to information on DISABLING and RE-ENABLING your System Restore.

The procedure is really simple, but some steps are a bit complex:

1) DISABLE System Restore.
2) REBOOT- this deletes ALL the old Restore Points.
3) RE-ENABLE System Restore.
4) REBOOT- this forces Windows to create a CLEAN Restore Point.
5) Use Disk Cleanup to empty your Temp folders.
6) Empty your Recycle Bin.
7) DEFRAG your drive- this will overwrite the old files, and guarantee they're gone.

Here's a link to the System Restore procedures:
