thanks

Normally you should start your own thread, but I don't think the OP is coming back, so plz do the following:
Unzip HJT into it's own permanent folder before doing anything in order for it to create backups. (Not a temporary folder or directly on the desktop & not directly on your hard drive). Close all (browser) windows & rescan with hijackthis. When the scan is finished place a check in the box to the left of the following entries & click 'fix checked' :

O1 - Hosts: 1089288654 auto.search.msn.com

Reboot & scan with HJT & post that log back here.

thanks crunchie

Download CWShredder from here & run it. Select the fix button & it will get rid of everything related to CoolWebSearch that is stored in it's database. Close ALL windows, including IE, before running CWShredder. Reboot.

To help prevent this from happening again, install the patches for the vulnerabilities that this hijacker exploits by going here for your critical updates.

Reboot after doing this & post another log please.

thanks again Crunchie..
I did what you said.. Im on 56k so the updates are gonna take a while..
but the problem seems to be fixed.. thanks so much..
