    Hello.
    I've been trying to remove Cool Web Search for days, and ran all the ad-aware, cwshredder and co stuff, and nothing worked.
    I read that I could find the name of the dll which is creating all the problems by installing reglite, going to the windows folder and look in the AppInit_DLLs folder, and if there is a .dll value in the last field, that's it.
    I have it, and the name is "c:\windows\system32\loggjha.dll". They suggested how to remove this thing (I'll give you details if you want), but I couldn't do that. It keeps coming out, even though I think I've removed it. If I go to the c:\windows\system32 directory, that dll never shows up, but if I reopen reglite, it's there again.
    Did you ever hear of this suggestion? Other people said that removing the dll there worked for them.
    Now, I ran Hijck this, and this is my log file.

    Can someone help me?
    I'm really worried, because if I run some programs, now the CPU gets completely filled without any reason, and I can't connect anymore to spyware web page, and I cannot update windows (I didn't have Service Pack 4).
    I'm really unhappy.

    Thanks a lot.

    Hello,
    thanks for your quick answer. I went through that file. I did all the Reglite stuff and did not work (the renaming and so was never able to make the dll visible).
    I wanted to try in the other way, but I'm stuck at the first step :(
    I download the Xfind.zip tool and then I click on find.bat, but it create a file.txt file saying that Xfind command is not recognized.
    Am I doing somehting wrong?
    Thanks..

    And find.bat and Xfind.com are in the same folder?

    Regards,

    Pieter

    I doubt that anything will do any good until you update your versiion of windows to include the latest service packs and security fixes

    running basic W2K is a big big risk and many applications will only run on SP2 at the least It is strongly recommended to get right up to date with SP4
    it is vital that you go here, click Scan for updates in the main frame, and download and install all CRITICAL updates recommended.

    Ehm..
    I did go there already.
    It doesn't allow me to install the Service Pack 4! I do the scan for update, select it, and after a few seconds it should begin to install it, it says that 'an error occurred' and nothing else. That's why I was so scared..
