I am not familiar at all with editing my computer's registry & I'm looking for help! I have a version of the CoolWebSearch hijacker. I can't get rid of it. I have downloaded & run AdAware, Spybot, HiJackThis, and CWShredder, and they only remedy the problem temporarily. When the browser hijack comes back, it is not always after the computer has been re-started. Also, when the browser is hijacked to About:Blank, it will not allow me to access Yahoo! I'm not sure what to do - I have saved a log from "HiJackThis". Can anyone help?!? :scratch:
Thank you - I appreciate any help!

Click here to download DllCompare. Start the Program with and click the Run Locate.com - be sure the \Windows\System32 directory is in the box and wait until the the blue text says it has 'completed the scan'.

Click the Compare button to start the next process. The results appear in two panes - files in the upper pane have been verified to 'exist', files in the lower pane were 'not able to be accessed'. Very few files should be listed in the lower pane when the Compare scan is complete. Click on each of the listed entries in the lower pane to select them. Right-click on the file and use the option Rescan. This will cause Windows Find to see if the file does exist, and then if so it will be removed from the list to reduce the number of identified files.

Click the Make a Log of what was found button and post the log here in this thread and wait for further instructions.
Here's the log:

* DLLCompare Log version(1.0.0.125)
Files Found that Windows does not See or cannot Access

Download FxAgentB.exe from here and save it to your desktop. After downloading, double-click the FxAgentB file to run it and the program will scan your entire hard drive - this may take a while. When it is done, it will generate a log file called FxAgentB.log - save that information as you will need to paste it here later. Reboot when done.

Re-run CWShredder and AAW. Reboot when done, rescan with HijackThis and post a new log here, together with the FxAgentB log and a new DllCompare log.
Here's the FxAgentB log:

Completely disable any antivirus software you have running from this point on until we have finished.

In the keys1 folder, double click on FIX.bat. You will get an alert of about 15 seconds before reboot - allow it to reboot. On restart, open Explorer and navigate to C:\Windows\System32 folder, find the MSINI.DLL file (it should be visible now). Highlight the file and using top menu, click Edit>Move to folder…

Select C:\Findnfix\junkxxx as destination. Move the file.

Open the FINDnFIX folder again and double-click on RESTORE.bat. When it is finished, in FINDnFIX folder, there will be a file called Log2.txt - post it's contents in your next reply.
Thank you for your help to this point!

When I re-booted, my Norton Internet Security program (which I had disabled before rebooting) was enabled upon re-start.

After moving the MSINI.dll file to the C:\Findnfix\junkxxx folder, I went into the junkxxx folder by mistake. I was reading a hard-copy print out of your last post, and I opened the wrong folder. Upon doing this, Norton Internet Security box popped up with a box that said "A virus was detected on your computer (MSINI.dll) and deleted". I hope this didn't screw up the fix.

After that occurred, I ran RESTORE.bat from the FINDnFIX folder as instructed. Here's the log:
