    I have tryed to remove CWSmsconfig two times with CWShreeder and it keeps comming back.
    I 'v disbled system restore and put my coputer in safe mode and ran Spybot S&D, Adware 6, Mcafee AV and the Mcafee Stinger (all up to date).
    I just downloaded HJT and I hope someone can point me in the right direction to getting this of my computer.

    thanks for takeing the time to look at my HJT logs.Her is the report from the CWSreeder scan i just did.




    CWShredder v1.59.0 scan only report
    Please understand that a CWShredder 'Scan only' report
    might not be sufficient to troubleshoot an infected system.
    You can use HijackThis for that:

    Hi oonocando,

    Let's get rid of some orphaned entries and see if that helps.

    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 easily get lost in a Temp folder.

    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)

    O16 - DPF: {B942A249-D1E7-4C11-98AE-FCB76B08747F} (RealArcadeRdxIE Class) - http://games-dl.real.com/gameconsole/Bundler/CAB/RealArcadeRdxIE.cab

    O16 - DPF: {FA13A9FA-CA9B-11D2-9780-00104B242EA3} (WildTangent Control) - http://install.wildtangent.com/bgn/partners/bellsouth/cannonballs/install.cab

    Then reboot.

    Merijn did mention something about fixing something related to CWSmsconfig in the last update.
    I'll check what it was exactly.

    Regards,

    Pieter

    In the mean time I will fix the items you have sugested.

    Found that remark by Merijn:
    I will ask him to look at this thread. I would not worry. It look like a false positive to me.

    Regards,

    Thanks for taking the time to go over my logs and help me with CWSmsconfig. I'll check back in a little bit to see what is said about this being a false positive. Many Thanks for your time.

    Strange. I see nothing either that could trigger this F/P.

    Can you try with InCtrl5 or similar if anything is actually changed on the system? If not, this is probably an internal error.
