Please Please go to the link below run the tool, save the log.


http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcen…moval.tool.html

Reboot and run cwshredder available from these places ,

http://www.zerosrealm.com/downloads.php
Or this as a full download without any unzipping required
http://www.downloads.subratam.org/CWShredder.exe

We have found that some of the CWS infections can be removed better from safe mode, rather than normal mode.
To get to safe mode use the F8 key while booting the machine. Detailed instructions from here :-
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgen…001052409420406

Then post another HJT log, and the log from Symantec.

HijackThis makes backups. If you run it out of a compressed file, like a zip file, instead of running it from a directory, the backups will not be made.

Please unzip Hijack this by a right click on the zipped folder click extract all here. Then delete the folder with the zipper on it

followed instructions, but still have a search toolbar which shows up under the normal toolbar, and my spybot software keeps saying changes are trying to be made

this is the newest hjt log after getting rid of agent b
