    I am a novice at computers so excuse my ignorance. When I start up internet explorer this is what starts up

    http://searchexe.com/passthrough//popupbaropener.html-microsoft internet explor

    My home page internet setting is automatically changed to http://prosearching.com/search/search.cgi?s=http://comcast.net/comcast.com

    My regular home page will come up but along with it comes a new toolbar called waygram. When I click this off it returns with the new screen. Also at the bottom, I get some kind of search bar with links to other sites. This will stay on the screen even if I close internet explorer.

    Recently, some sort of new menu bar has also attached itself to my desktop. I cannot track down where it is located at to delete.

    I have used ad-aware 6.0 but it has not corrected the problem.

    How do I get rid of this beast?

    Thanks

    Hi skip,

    Welcome at Wilders. :)

    Could you please follow the instructions posted here:
    http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=15913
    Since you already scanned with AdAware you can skip step one.

    Regards,

    Pieter

    you have only posted a part of the log and we need the rest as well to be able to remove the LOP hijack that you have

    you also have a CWS hijacker so download CWshredder from http://www.wilderssecurity.com/attachments/cwshredder1532.zip then unzip & Run it
    Close all browser windows, click on the cwshredder.exe then click "FIX" (Not "Scan only") and let it do it's thing.
    and make sure you follow the advice about the security updates listed on the last page, in order to prevent re-infection, otherwise you will be continually reinfected
    the patches are :
    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=828026
    http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/security/bulletin/ms03-011.asp
    *Note: The simplest way to make sure you have all the security patches is to go to Windows update and install all "Critical Updates & service Packs"

    Hi skip,

    I think you forgot to post the bottom half of the log, but we can do some cleaning with this part.

    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:

    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://searchexe.com/searchbar.html
    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://searchexe.com/searchbar.html

    R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://www.the-exit.com
    R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://searchexe.com/searchbar.html
    R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://searchexe.com/searchbar.html

    R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = http://searchexe.com/searchbar.html

    R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page = http://www.the-exit.com
    R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,(Default) = http://www.the-exit.com/search
    R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - _{CFBFAE00-17A6-11D0-99CB-00C04FD64497} - (no file)
    O2 - BHO: Clear Search - {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000240} - C:\Program Files\ClearSearch\IE_ClrSch.DLL
    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {000006B1-19B5-414A-849F-2A3C64AE6939} - C:\WINDOWS\bi.dll
    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {00000762-3965-4A1A-98CE-3D4BF457D4C8} - C:\Program Files\Lycos\Sidesearch\sidesearch1311.dll
    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {01C5BF6C-E699-4CD7-BEA1-786FA05C83AB} - C:\Program Files\SysAI\AproposPlugin.dll
    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {3CAEC178-2180-C468-0A55-8D4CC85DF0F2} - C:\PROGRA~1\GPLENC~1\GrimDownload.dll

    O3 - Toolbar: Waygram - {F6AA76AA-EB47-26A8-7E2E-66995D27F9A0} - C:\PROGRA~1\GPLENC~1\GrimDownload.dll

    Then reboot into safe mode and delete:
    C:\Program Files\ClearSearch <= entire folder
    C:\Program Files\Lycos\Sidesearch <= entire folder
    C:\Program Files\SysAI <= entire folder
    C:\Program Files\C2Media <= entire folder
    C:\Program Files\AutoUpdate <= entire folder
    C:\Program Files\OWNSWI~1 <= the entire folder that holds loud deaf.exe
    C:\Program Files\GPLENC~1 <= the entire folder that holds GrimDownload.dll

    Then boot normally, run HijackThis again and post the new and complete log.
    SWhen you boot between removing the files and the second round of HijackThis, you may get some errors, because Windows is looking for files that are no longer there. Don't worry about that.

    Regards,

    Pieter

    Reboot into safe mode by following instructions here: http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2001052409420406
    then as some of the files or folders you need to delete may be hidden do this:
    Open Windows Explorer & Go to Tools > Folder Options. Click on the View tab and make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is checked. Also uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" and untick "hide extensions for known file types" . Now click "Apply to all folders"
    Click "Apply" then "OK"

    Delete these files

    NONE

    and Delete these folders
    C:\Program Files\Lycos\Sidesearch
    C:\PROGRAM FILES\GPLENC~1 This folder starts with gplenc then has additional words or letters biyt you should soon find it
    C:\Program Files\ClearSearch
    C:\Program Files\Window Active
    C:\Program Files\AutoUpdate
    C:\PROGRA~1\OWNSWI~1
    C:\Program Files\SysAI\
    C:\WINDOWS\wt


    then
    Reboot normally &

    Download and unzip or install these programs/applications if you haven't already got them. If you have them, then make sure they are updated and configured as described

    Spybot - Search & Destroy from http://security.kolla.de
    AdAware 6 from http://www.lavasoft.de/support/download

    Run Sybot S&D

    After installing, first press Online, press search for updates, then tick the updates it finds, then press download updates. Beside the download button is a little down pointed arrow, select one of the servers listed. If it doesn't work or you get an error message then try a different server

    Next, close all Internet Explorer and OE windows, press 'Check for Problems', and have SpyBot remove all it finds that is marked in RED.

    then reboot &

    Run ADAWARE

    Before you scan with AdAware, check for updates of the reference file by using the "webupdate".
    the current ref file should read at least 01R271 19.03.2004 or a higher number/later date

    Then ........

    Make sure the following settings are made and on -------"ON=GREEN"
    From main window :Click "Start" then " Activate in-depth scan"

    then......

    click "Use custom scanning options>Customize" and have these options on: "Scan within archives" ,"Scan active processes","Scan registry", "Deep scan registry" ,"Scan my IE Favorites for banned URL" and "Scan my host-files"

    then.........

    go to settings(the gear on top of AdAware)>Tweak>Scanning engine and tick "Unload recognized processes during scanning" ...........then........"Cleaning engine" and "Let windows remove files in use at next reboot"

    then...... click "proceed" to save your settings.

    Now to scan it´s just to click the "Scan" button.

    When scan is finished, mark everything for removal and get rid of it. (Right-click the window and choose"select all" from the drop down menu) then press next and then say yes to the prompt, do you want to remove all these entries.

    reboot again

    then post a new hijackthis log to check what is left
