Post #2
Please download and run CWShredder here
Make sure that all browser windows are closed with the exception of Cwshredder and choose FIX.

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

Then post another log.


Also Malware Sweeper is not one I know to be good? Not sure if it is worth the money.
When and where did you get it.
Post #3
I just ran the cwshredder and it found nothing. As for the malware sweeper, i did a search for it, because i don't see it on my programs list. Nothing was found in the search, including hiden files. I personally do not know what this is. This is my pc at work, i have not installed it. I am not sure that the company i work for would have either. What is the next line of atttack ?
