Re: annoying coolsearch.biz startup page
 

First of all, you should post all hijackthis logs in the security forum. Second, you need to update your hijackthis to version 1.98.2. Before scanning with hijackthis again, download and scan with Adaware and Spybot Search and Destroy and let them fix what they find, if anything. After that, rescan with hijackthis with all browser windows closed, save, and post in the security forum. There one of the security experts will take a look at your log and advise you from there.

Re: annoying coolsearch.biz startup page
 

Yes, as the announcement at the top of the other forums clearly states. Moving to the Security forum now, buckle up....


somebodyhelp, you are heavily infested with crapware- do as deonnanicole suggested ASAP: update to HJT version 1.98.2, download and run Ad Aware SE and SpyBot Search & Destroy, and post a fresh log from HJT 1.98.2.

Before running Ad Aware, SpyBot, and HJT, do the following:


- Reboot into safe mode and delete the entire contents of all Temp, Cookie, History, and Temporary Internet Files folders.
- Delete the entire content of your C:\Windows\Temp folder.
- Empty your Recycle Bin.
- Reboot normally.

If you get any messages concerning the deletion of system files such as desktop.ini or index.dat, just choose to delete those files; they'll be automatically regenerated by Windows if needed.

Re: annoying coolsearch.biz startup page
 

ok guys i will get it done. will keep u updated.

Re: annoying coolsearch.biz startup page
 

To help prevent being reinfected, you should update your Internet Explorer to v.6, SP1 using Windows Update and install Spyware Blaster from here: http://www.zerosrealm.com/index.php?page=downloads

To clean out more temporary files, do a search on your computer for *.tmp

Re: annoying coolsearch.biz startup page
 

Or just dump Internet Explorer altogether; other browsers such as Netscape, Opera, and Firefox are immune to almost all of the infections which plague IE.

Re: annoying coolsearch.biz startup page
 

Ok guys i had done as what was being told. Could u guys recommend me most used browser other than IE? After lookin thru the advices given i tought of changin it. Anyway here is the log from HJT that i had recently done. Please do give some advices, thanks in advance.

Re: annoying coolsearch.biz startup page
 

Whether you use Netscape, Firefox, or Opera as your browser is really a matter of personal preference; each of those browsers has its own set features and functions, some of which you might like, and some perhaps not. Start by downloading any one of them; if you find you don't like it, try another.

In terms of your HJT log, have you run Ad Aware and SpyBot yet? If not, please do so and post a fresh log.

Re: annoying coolsearch.biz startup page
 

yup i already run both ad aware and spybot.

Re: annoying coolsearch.biz startup page
 

*Groan*... I was afraid you were going to say that.

Your system has been compromised about "eight ways to Sunday" as the saying goes, and you're going to need a heck of a lot more than HijackThis to fix it all. Let me gather the relevant resources and get back to you ASAP.

(Unless of course *ahem!* crunchie wants to take a stab at this one... :mrgreen: )
