    Hi, my name is Brendan... I've had Adaware and Spybot and Norton IS 2004 running on my puter since I got it several months ago, but I have fallen prey to this worm/adware/whatever it is. Can't get it to go away. I've read some of the other threads to find out about how it works, and I DL'd Hijackthis and BrowserHijackBlaster to begin the process of dealing with this thing.

    Typical to several other posts, Adaware, Norton and Spybot all find traces of it but are unable to eradicate it from the system. My browser is redirected and slowed down, and my home page is changed (well almost changed, now that BHB is installed) every 5 minutes.

    I'd appreciate it very much if you'd lead me through a step by step of what I need to do in order to get rid of this! Thanks in advance!!!

    Here is my HijackThis log:

    Oh, forgot to mention - yes I do run Adaware and Spybot daily, and I check daily for updates... I am up to current version on both. Norton checks for updates daily as well.

    to see if we can prevent the cws hijackers reinfecting you try this
    a workaround seems to be install a good firewall, lists here http://www.wilders.org/firewalls.htm if you haven't already got one and block these ranges of ports, both incoming and outgoing 209.66.114.0-209.66.115.255 and 81.211.105.0-81.211.105.255 and 213.159.118.0-213.159.118.255
    that stops the known cws servers responding or the hidden files on your computer updating. This works sometimes but not always, but it's a help. The problem with this approach is that some good sites might also be blocked
    then when we have a guaranteed working cure for it we can advise how to fully remove it.


    First download CWshredder from https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=14086

    boot 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"

    Run hijackthis, tick these entries listed below and ONLY these entries, double check to make sure, then make sure all browser & email windows are closed and press fix checked

    Delete these files

    C:\WINDOWS\WinUpdat.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system\sysinit32.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\runwin32.exe

    Now Run Cwshreddder
    Close all browser windows, click on the cwshredder.exe then click "FIX" (Not "Scan only") and let it do it's thing.


    Reboot After running cwshredder and as soon as possible follow this advice:
    Now as CWS Hijacks are normally installed via the byte verifier exploit in M$ JavaVM, just surfing a page with an infected applet can install it with no user participation. So once you’ve run the above, it is vital that you go here, click Scan for updates in the main frame, and download and install all CRITICAL updates recommended.

    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 01R300 28.04.2004 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

    Okay, nothing is coming up in Adaware or CWShredder or Spybot, but Norton is still picking up a w32dll trojan, that might be it still hiding.

    Hi g60racer,

    Your log is clean. What is the filename and path of the file that Norton is finding and what is it calling the infection?

    Regards,
    Kent

    that's either the adaware backup/quarantine files or it's where adaware unpacked the files to check them and it should be deleted on a reboot

    so try the reboot first

    open adaware click on the parcel/box icon & select all the quarantine entries and select delete

    then run a norton scan and they should be gone

    if they still stay after that then using windows explorer navigate to the C:\Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-aware 6\Cache folder and select everything inside the cache and delete it

    ask that quuestion in the firewalls forum, that's where the firewall experts hang out.

    You should be able to block all incoming withn the router firewall but some are difficult to configure
