Hi guys...
I was wondering if anyone could help me with my HijackThis log file..

Everytime I connect to the Internet I get searchcentral.cc as my start page, and I've tried to change it, but when I reboot it comes back. I'm not sure what to fix, so if you could tell me it would be great..

my log file:

Hi. First of all you need to update hijackthis to version 1.98.2. Run hijackthis & go to *Config\Misc Tools\Check for update on-line*. If the site is down, go here. Remove the old version by deleting the file manually. Unzip the new version into the hijackthis folder.

Click My Computer, then C:\
In the menu bar, File->New->Folder.
That will create a folder named New Folder, which you can rename to "HJT" or "HijackThis". Now you have C:\HJT\ folder. Put your HijackThis.exe there, and double click to run it.

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':

Reboot into safe mode following the instructions here & navigate to & delete the following if found:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\wcuqqdt.exe-file
C:\WINDOWS\conscorr.exe-file
C:\WINDOWS\System32\winupd.exe-file

Reboot normally after doing the above then post a fresh log please.

Download CWShredder from here & run it. Select the fix button & it will fix everything related to CoolWebSearch that is stored in it's database. Close ALL windows, including Internet Explorer, 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.

Download moveonboot from here & the file(s) you choose will be deleted on reboot.

MoveOnBoot allows you to copy, move or delete files on the next system boot. This comes in very handy, if you need to replace or delete files which are locked by other applications, loaded into memory or cannot be changed until next system boot. You could manually enter a line to the wininit files, but using MoveOnBoot is much simpler, since the program can be integrated into shell - it creates the "Copy/Move/Delete on boot" context menu item.

Once installed, go to the following files, right click on them & select delete on reboot.

C:\WINDOWS\System32\wcuqqdt.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\winupd.exe

Reboot after doing this & post another log please.
