Dear All
please help me to sort out a problem I'm having on my son's computer. I'm pretty new to the techie side of things and live in fear of having to delete files etc but having looked in your forum you seem to have helped others with similar problems.
We had problems with something re-setting itself as the home page which I deleted recently but in the last couple of days there's been problems with MSIESH.DLL. I've used HijackThis and the log file is below. I hope you can help me sort out what to keep and what to delete.
Thanks big time in anticipation.

Re: problems with MSIESH.DLL
 

Ok. Please do the following & we will see if we can get it sorted for you.
Download CWShredder from here & run it. Select the fix button & it will get rid of everything related to CoolWebSearch. Close ALL other programs & windows, including IE, before running CWShredder.

Download & instal Adaware from here
& update it B4 scanning.
In settings under 'scanning,' have it set to
'scan within archives,'
'scan active processes,'
'scan registry,'
'deepscan registry'
'scan my IE Favourites for banned URL's,'
'scan my host's file.'
Also in tweaks under 'cleaning engine' set it to 'Automatically try to unregister objects prior to deletion.'
When the scan is finished select 'next.'
Remove what it finds by placing a check in the box to the left of the object. Reboot

Download & instal Spybot S&D from here Update it B4 scanning. Go into settings & have it check for Beta releases also & download if available.
After the scan is complete, have spybot fix everything marked RED.
On the page that first opens when you start Spybot there is an option to immunise, you should do this. In the immunise section there is also a link to download Spywareblaster. Download that & you can keep it updated by selecting the same link that you use to download it. Reboot

Go here for an on-line scan & set it to autoclean for you.

Reboot after doing this & post another log please.

Re: problems with MSIESH.DLL
 

Crunchie
many thanks for taking the time to help out & sorry taking so long to respond. had problems getting it all to work. Ran CWShredder without problem and cleared all the obvious rubbish. Tried at least 4 times to install Adaware but it just would not do it on my system.
Instead I went for the Spybot S&D and installed that. It ran through about 60% of the files and then froze. I rebooted and tried again (twice) but it stalled at the same point. I ran CWShredder again finding nothing and tried Adaware without success again.
In the end I had to bite the bullet and go for closure. I reinstalled windows over a reformatted hard drive and loaded all my bits and pieces in again. everything seems fairly OK now although I had the hardest time trying to reinstall my BT Yahoo Broadband. my son says he's got more probs which I'll need to look at tomorrow night but if it's big trouble again I'll start a new thread and hope you guys can help.
Thanks again, CalumsDad.

Re: problems with MSIESH.DLL
 

Now that you've done a full reinstall, you should see if you can get SpyBot and Ad Aware to run- it won't take long for the "nasties" to return on a broadband connection (I got a few of them within only 1/2 hour of plugging my new laptop!)
