To start cleaning up your computer, please download CWShredder
This was written to deal with Coolweb and all its variants.

Download and run the program. Let it fix everything it finds, and reboot.

Run Hijack this again, and post a fresh log so we can deal with whatever is left.

 

I've done that (and the toolbar remains although the pop-up one along the bottom of my screen seems to have gone). Here's my new log

Hi Seph,

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

O2 - BHO: NavErrRedir Class - {0428FFC7-1931-45b7-95CB-3CBB919777E1} - (no file)

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {D10C5010-A042-C4A0-9B41-001E63A2EC6B} - C:\PROGRA~1\BINDCA~1\lesscopy.dll

O3 - Toolbar: GlueOne - {19DB4C89-C550-7F4A-45B4-541E74458326} - C:\PROGRA~1\BINDCA~1\lesscopy.dll

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [iso ante] C:\PROGRA~1\bolt window amok\Ping thunk that.exe

Then reboot into safe mode and delete:
C:\PROGRAM FILES\bolt window amok <= entire folder
C:\PROGRAM FILES\BINDCA~1 <= entire folder that holds lesscopy.dll

Regards,

Pieter

 

Thanks alot, the toolbars gone. However, i couldn't find the lesscopy.dll to delete. I did a search of my whole computer (including hidden folders) and couldn't find it. But i'll leave it for now, my computer seems okay, without any adware anywhere.

My friend told me about this site and i'll recommend it to anyone else who has any trouble.

Cheers,

Seph

 

Hi Seph,

Check in the Program Files directory and look for a folder whos name starts with BINDCA (there could be a space in the filename)
Very likely you will find a .dat file in it, about 6 kb in size.

Delete that folder. If you are not sure leave it alone. As you found out it has been made harmles by HijackThis.

Please read How did this happen and can I prevent it?

Regards,

Pieter
