    A few weeks ago while I was surfing, a CoolWeb window popped up. I closed it immediately, and because I'd heard how nasty CoolWeb is, I immediately updated SpywareBlaster and ran it.

    The updates downloaded okay. I checked all the new red items using the Select All button, then clicked the Protect button. Immediately the new checkmarks disappeared and the items remained red. However SpywareBlaster reported "Success." The previously installed items (black) remain checked and unaffected.

    Before posting this I cleaned my system using Ad-Aware and Spybot S&D. The latter has also been acting strange. When I click Immunize it reports 486 bad products protected against, 20 additional protections possible; and urges me to immunize. When I click the Immunize button, it reports 0 bad products blocked (which I take to mean the 20 additional protections).

    Seems rather suspicious to me, even though IE does not appear to be hijacked. I also downloaded and ran CWShredder and it reported no CoolWeb infestation.

    I'm running XP Pro (SP1), IE 6.0, and SpywareBlaster 2.6.1. Below is the Hijackthis log.

    Thanx.

    Hi mbobo,

    Nothing to do with your problem, but it should be fixed.
    Check the item below in HijackThis.
    Close all windows except HijackThis and click Fix checked:
    R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing
    Then reboot.

    I will now close this topic so you can continue in the other one you started.

    Regards,

    Pieter
