Welcome to the forum.

The key to fixing this hijacker is posting a fresh HJT log and not turning off or rebooting the computer until we are finished with procedure.

I need you to download and install these programs: (don't run or use them yet!!)

Download AboutBuster

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

Click here http://www.davehigham.zen.co.uk/downloads/cwsuninst.zip to download cwsuninst.zip.
Extract cwsuninst.reg from the zip file and save it to the desktop.

Download the Hoster from here http://members.aol.com/toadbee/hoster.zip.

Download CW-Shredder

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. Extract xphidden.reg from the zip file and save it to the desktop. When done, double-click the xphidden.reg and when asked to merge say yes.

If you can do those for me including posting a fresh HJT log, I'll get back to you ASAP with the procedure to fix this hijacker. MrC

Hello rlm1816,

I will be taking over for MrCharlie to help you out. This is one of the most severe infections to remove that we see these days. It runs from an added service and often a hidden dll. It will reinstall itself if Internet Explorer is opened and with each reboot it adds more infected files. Please do the following steps in order.:

Step#1

The first thing I need you to do is download the file from here:

Getservice.zip

Extract the file to the c:\ drive. Then navigate to the c:\getservices and double-click on the getservices.bat file. A notepad will open up. Please paste the contents of that notepad as a reply to this post.


Step#2

This infection continues to reinstall itself through a hidden dll which we have to find and remove.

1. Please download DllCompare
( The Screenshot will show you how the program will look when it starts.)

2. Start the Program with its default settings and put a check mark in the include subdirectories. Click the Run Locate.com and wait until the scan says complete.

3. Click the Compare button to start the next process.

4. Files in the upper portion have been verified to "exist", Files in the bottom section were not able to be accessed. Very few files should be listed in the bottom section when the Compare scan is complete.

5. Click on each of the listed entries in the lower section to select them. Right-click on the file and use the Option Rescan screenshot.

6. This will cause Windows Find to see if the file does exist, and then it will be removed from the list (to reduce the number of identified files) screenshot

7. Click the Make a Log of what was found button, and post the log here in this thread using Add Reply to receive further instructions.



Step#3

Please post those two log files in this thread using Add Reply and I will give you further instructions.
