    Hi, i've had this coolwebsearch and clear-search malware on my computer for about 2 weeks now, and i've used spybot, adaware, and cwshredder, all of which removed the malware, but then it kept coming back. i was thinking of reinstalling windows to remove the problem, but that it just too much of a hassle now. I've read the directions for the hijackthis log, and i would greatly appreciate it if somebody could help me out here.

    Hi aloshaz,

    Before you start please unzip hijackthis.exe to a folder of it´s own. The program creates backups in the folder it is in. In a Temp folder they easily disappear.

    Check the following items in HijackThis.
    Close all windows except HijackThis and click Fix checked:

    R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing

    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {778010C4-8F6F-499E-BEF8-87451E898BA8} - C:\WINDOWS\System32\ghap.dll (file missing)

    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {EB383722-C57F-4BC7-904E-0681EA2B2AE3} - C:\WINDOWS\System32\mpemld.dll (file missing)
    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {F2CF6320-3E7D-4A15-B155-F410F42130DA} - C:\WINDOWS\System32\ldf.dll (file missing)

    Then download:
    http://tools.zerosrealm.com/dllfix.exe

    Doubleclick it and install in folder of choice on the root drive, in your case C:\

    1.Run start.bat and press option 1. 'output.txt' will be created in the folder

    (note : it's best to post that report together with a HijackThis log in your topic, so experts can have a look as well)

    2. IF hidden dll was successfully found, run start.bat again and choose option 2. Hit '1' and enter dll name manually.

    3. If dll was not found after first running start.bat :

    Run start.bat again and choose option '2'. You must reboot after doing so.

    4. Download and run AdAware : http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/ (make sure you have latest updates) and run it.

    5. Ask for a new hijackthis log, a new output.txt after the fix

    6. You can also run CWShredder finally to clean up other entries

    Regards,

    Pieter

    Hi Pieter,

    Thank you so much! I cant thank you enough. I think the trojan/spyware is finally gone, i found the msl.dll file that the dllfix found and deleted it, and now spywareblaster could finally install and now ive got all the protection i need. Thank you for the help, you saved me a good day of work :D .

    Alosh'
