Hmm… I seemed to have missed an entry in my last fix…

Run and scan with HijackThis, with all other browsers and windows closed, place a check beside the following and Fix:

O1 - Hosts: 66.218.75.184 mail.yahoo.com

Reboot and post a new HijackThis log please.

Hi, one other thing i have noticed is I ran spybot today (about 5pm) and down the bottom left hand corner where it mentions what it is searching, I have still noticed wwwcoolsearch "things". Is this ok? Anyways, have followed your instructions and here is a new log file. Thanks again for your help.

What you saw with Spybot is just the list it goes through as it searches your computer… nothing to worry about.

Good Work!. Your log looks CLEAN!!.

How is your computer behaving? Any of the previous symptoms?

You're very welcome. Glad I was able to help! :D

To clean up any remnants that we might not have been able to get with HijackThis, you might want to do an online scan or two. A couple good ones are Panda ActiveScan and TrendMicro HouseCall. Let them fix anything they find. Reboot between each scan.

Along with Spybot, if you dont have it, download and install Ad-Aware. Visit this page for proper configuration of the programs. Run and scan with both, letting them fix whatever they find. Remember to reboot between each scan.

After that reset your System Restore Point. This will ensure a nice clean backup to fall upon if you ever need it. To do this:

1. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
2. Click the System Restore tab.
3. Check the "Turn off System Restore" or "Turn off System Restore on all drives"

Reboot your computer, follow the steps above, this time unchecking the "Turn off System Restore" and reboot.

Along with Ad-Aware and Spybot, you might also want to look into installing SpywareBlaster, SpywareGuard, and IE-SPYAD. You can grab them from the links in my sig. The programs are free and can be updated, so please remember to do so. Installing these will go a long way in preventing reinfection.

Other than that… keep Windows updated, keep your protection programs updated, scan often, and…

Surf Safe!
