Quick summary: the HijackThis output shows a classic search‑hijack pattern (IE Search/SearchAssistant pointing to a DLL) plus an unnamed BHO and several oddly named Run/RunOnce entries. That combination strongly matches the CoolWebSearch family of browser hijackers (they use res://*.dll/sp.html to redirect searches) and is exactly why automated scanners sometimes miss persistent pieces. (en.wikipedia.org)

Containment and first actions (do these before anything else): unplug the PC from the network and back up personal data (documents, mail archives). Boot into Safe Mode. Run an up‑to‑date anti‑malware scanner (second‑opinion tools such as Malwarebytes or a similar modern on‑demand scanner), let it quarantine/remove findings, reboot, then repeat. After automated cleaning, use a startup/autorun inspector to find and disable orphaned Run, RunOnce and BHO entries (do not delete files until they’re disabled and scanned). Autoruns from Sysinternals is the right tool for this job. (myantispyware.com)

Targeted manual cleanup (if the automated tools don’t finish the job): with all browsers closed, disable the SearchAssistant/Search Page entries and the unknown BHO shown in your log, then delete the associated DLL/exe only after you have disabled it and confirmed scanners mark it malicious. If the infection is persistent and specifically CWS‑family, the CWShredder tool (historically effective for CWS variants) and the HijackThis workflow are commonly used by experienced cleaners — follow a trusted guide and save logs for help. If unsure, post the new HijackThis log after running the scanners so responders can pick the exact HJT lines to fix. (merijn.nu)

If cleanup fails or the machine is still unstable, plan a clean reinstall. Note this system is Windows XP SP1 in the original log; XP is long out of support and remains highly vulnerable — replacing or upgrading the OS is strongly recommended after removal. (support.microsoft.com)

Good starting plan from — run the automated scans first, then follow the Autoruns / HJT sequence above and post the fresh log for next steps.

Your log indicates that you have at least a couple of different infections. Let's see if we can some of it cleaned up with a few automated utilities before digging in with HJT and manual removal methods

1. Run at least two or three of the following online anti-virus/anti-spyware scans and let them fix what they can:

http://www.kaspersky.com/scanforvirus.html
http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
http://us.mcafee.com/root/mfs/default.asp?cid=9914
http://www.pandasoftware.com/active...n_principal.htm

http://www.bitdefender.com/scan/licence.php


2. Download, install, and run the following (free) detection and removal tools (use each program's online update function before running them to make sure you have the most current updates installed). After each utility completes its fixes, reboot before continuing on to the next utility; have the utilities fix all of the problematic/malicious items they find:

about:Buster



SpyBot Search & Destroy


3. Run HiajckThis again and post a fresh log.
