Hello Mrspeed1967,

You have CoolWebSearch on your system.

This fix may take a little while. The new variant of CWS takes time to remove properly. To start fixing this infection, please download this zip, and unzip/install it preferably to the desktop. It will not work if you run it from inside the zip.

http://downloads.subratam.org/dllfix.exe

Navigate to the new folder and open it. Double click on the start.bat. A DOS window will open. Please select option 1, by typing 1 and then pressing enter. Once the search is complete a ".txt" file should pop up with the name "Output.txt" (it can also be found in the dllfix folder), please post this log into this thread, along with the windows.txt logfile, which can also be found in the dllfix folder. Please attach the windows.txt logfile, as it is in binary, do NOT post it as a reply

 

Here's the output.txt file; windows.txt attached

Run the start.bat again after the "dll" is found and choose option 2 and, then at the submenu, choose option 1. At the prompt, please type in: msnldf.dll. Once you are done, post a new Output.txt (option 1 in start.bat), the logs.txt the fix generated (you will find it automatically being made and found in the dllfix folder) a fresh HijackThis logfile, and a new windox.txt logfile in this thread. As usual, please attach the windows.txt logfile, DO NOT post it

 

A quick question. While I was waiting, I discovered, downloaded and ran CWShredder. The problem seems to be fixed. Is this an effective way to fix the problem, or will it come back? Please advise. And thanks for your help!

 

Well, its okay to do that, provided the fix worked. I was going to have you run CWShredder, but only after I made sure that the infection was gone. If the infection is still there, then it will prove harder to get rid off...Hopefully it is gone, so please post the logs that I asked for, and keep your fingers crossed

 

Here's a new Hijack This log, after running Shredder:

As you can see, I also installed Spyware Guard and Spyware Blaster as recommended in another post on how to prevent being infected in the first place. I hope this was okay.

 

Hi Mrspeed1967

Before you start, please move hijackthis to a separate folder. The program will make backups in the folder in the folder it's in.
These will now end up on your desktop.

Check the items listed below in HijackThis, close all windows except HijackThis and click Fix checked:

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {549B5CA7-4A86-11D7-A4DF-000874180BB3} - (no file)

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {FDD3B846-8D59-4ffb-8758-209B6AD74ACC} - (no file)

Then delete the old output.txt and make a new one so we can see if you still have the hidden dll.

Regards,

Pieter

 

Done. Here's latest log. Thanks!
