Okay, so I've got a CWS Hijacker problem.

OS: Windows XP Perfessional, Service Pack 1
Browser: IE Version 6.0

Occuring Problems:
1) IE homepage is reset to "about:blank"
2) When IE opens, a Find-to-Search webpage is brought up
3) Find-to-Search page loads pop-ups
4) When doing a search (using Google) a secondary page of Find-to-Search results opens in a new window
5) Notepad will randomly close

Software I have to try and fix this problem:
Spybot - Search & Destroy
Spy Sweeper
Ad-Aware SE Personal
cwsshredder
HijackThis
*all have been updated

Steps Taken to fix problem:
Started up in safe mode as Administrator
Ran Spybot Search & Destroy, found 30 problems, removed 29, had error in removing "c:\windows\wupdt.exe", searched for that file, it wasn't there.
Ran Spy Sweeper, found 10 problems, removed them all
Ran cwshredder, found nothing
Ran Ad-Aware SE, found 42 problems, most were labeled as CWS.FullSearch, removed them all
Ran Ad-Aware SE again, found 2 registry key problems, wrote down the addresses of those problems (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE:system\currentcontrolset\enum\root\legacy_o?*001e*2019*017drt*00f1*00e5*00c8*00b2$000e*00d3\")
(second registry location was exactly the same, except "currentcontrolset" was changed to "controlset001")
Ran regedit, searched out the locations, both are folders. Attempted to remove the folders, but they wouldn't allow me to delete them. 2 files were in each folder, and 1 file would delete while the other (called "Default") would not delete.
Ran HijackThis, saved log, didn't check and fix anything.

HijackThis log:

Another problem of note is that when I attempted to update cwshredder, the computer froze, and cwshredder alerted me that something called "CWS.SmartSearch.2" had attempted to close cwshredder, and that it would be renaming itself with random characters in front of the name to avoid further problems.

I've got Mozilla and Mozilla Firefox now, and I use those, and they don't have any problems, but I would still like to get this hijacker off of my computer.

Thanks in advance to whoever looks this over and helps me fix this.
Please download GetService.zip
Extract it to a new folder in the desktop. Double click on the Getservice.bat file to run it. This will create and open a text file named getservice.txt in the same folder. It will then open getservice.txt for you.
getservice.txt will list all active Services. Copy and paste the contents of getservice.txt in your next reply here. From the moment you post your list, until you see a detailed fix written up, DO NOT reboot your system or log off. If you do, the service will have changed and the fix provided will not work


When HijackThis is on your Desktop it will save the backups as Icons and can be confused with your other programs. It is best to have it in it's own folder.

1. Please go to you're 'My Documents' folder, right-click and select 'New > Folder' then name the folder 'HJT'.

2. Copy and paste HijackThis.exe to the new folder.

3. Close ALL windows except HJT

4. SCAN with HJT

5. POST the new log in this thread using 'Add Reply'

DO NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES OR CLICK "FIX CHECKED" UNTIL WE CHECK THE LOG, AS SOME OF THE FILES ARE LEGIT AND VITAL TO YOUR COMPUTER'S HEALTH

When you have done that, delete the copy of hijackthis that you have on your desktop.
Okay, this is in normal mode, after running all the protection software listed before, I ran getservice and hijack this. Here are the results.

And I will keep my computer on and not log off or restart until a fix is posted.
PLEASE read through the instructions before you start (you may want to print this out).

Please note that everytime you reboot your computer there's a good chance that the files names may have changed.

Please download and unzip
AboutBuster to a folder. Inside the folder is a readme file that has instructions on the use of the program.
AboutBuster MUST be updated before you use it.
Start AboutBuster, click the update button, check for update, drag the box to the side and hit download updates, close the box . Don't run it yet.
Current reference list # is 15
Sometimes AboutBuster works better in safe mode, try it.

You may also find the TheKillBox helpful for deleting and ending task on files to be deleted.
To end task on a file that's running use the drop down arrow in the right lower corner of the program and the button to the left of it.


1. Please download and install AD-Aware.
Check Here on how setup and use it - please make sure you update it first.

2. Go to Start->Run and type "Services.msc" (without quotes) then hit Ok
Scroll down and find the service called "Network Security Service" (it may also be listed as Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Helper or Workstation NetLogon Service)

When you find it, double-click on it. In the next window that opens, click the Stop button, then click on properties and under the General Tab, change the Startup Type to Disabled. Now hit Apply and then Ok and close any open windows. If you don´t find this service listed go ahead with the next steps.

3. Open Windows Explorer & Go to Tools > Folder Options. Click on the View tab and make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is checked.
Also uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" and untick "hide extensions for known file types" . Now click "Apply to all folders"
Click "Apply" then "OK"

For anyone using Windows XP, 'Search' will not automatically show hidden files even if your folder options settings are set to do that. Do this so you can see hidden files and folders - click here http://www.davehigham.zen.co.uk/downloads/xphidden.zip to download xphidden.zip.

Service didn't work, said it couldn't
find the file or folder.


Also could not use the online virus scan Housecall. In an attempt to install, it was looking for Netscape plugins, but since I use Mozilla and Mozilla Firefox, it wouldn't let me continue.

I noticed that the R3 and 02 are still there and don't seem to go away…

Another weird thing that happened, on the restart, a windows prompt came up and told me that it didn't know what to use to open a file called "jcmha" with no extension, and told me to pick a program, so I picked wordpad, and when it opened it had something about MozillaUninstall written on the title bar, but when I searched for that file I couldn't find it…
Ahh, okay, this is strange. After that startup with the "jcmha" prompt, where I deleted that atllt32.dll file, I decided to reboot into safe mode. There, I ran AboutBuster and it came up with no files to delete on both sweeps, and Ad-Aware didn't find anything either. I ran Regedit to check the registry, and the legacy_0? folders that had always been there that I couldn't delete weren't there anymore. So I rebooted into normal mode, (no prompt about a file not having a program) ran AboutBuster again, and it didn't find any files on either sweep, then ran Ad-Aware and it couldn't find anything either, so I ran HJT and this is the newest HJT log.

The R3 and O2 problems are gone, so I decided to test out my IE again, and it's not reseting the home page to about:blank and it's not opening and alternate Search-To-Find page when I do a Google search… And Notepad seems to be staying open now… Not sure if everything IS fixed, but everything SEEMS fixed right now… I'm gonna test it for about 1 more day and make sure I don't get any problems… so please don't close this thread yet… If it is all fixed, thanks for all your help, cuz I was about another day or two from just formatting it all.
Yep, looks as though everything is working just fine. Scanned with AboutBuster and Ad-Aware a few times and it hasn't come up with anything. Thanks for all your help.
Glad we could be of assistance. This topic is now closed. If you wish it reopened, please send us an email (Click for address) with a link to your thread.
