More Cool Web Search/Shopping Wizard/about:blank problems

[Seizurebear]

I'm having problems that others have already written about with the CWS/Shopping Wizard, Home Search Assistent, Search Extender/about:blank. I've followed the advice in previous threads, but I am having the same problems. I've posted a HiJackThis log.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi SeizureBear, welcome to DaniWeb :D

Please follow the suggestions and instructions in the links below to help prevent reinfections, start the cleanup process, and to find out a bit about HijackThis.

When you get to the third one, go to post #6 to resolve most of your problems.

After you've done this, please post a new HJT log.

[DMR]

Hi Seizurebear,

Welcome to DaniWeb! :)

You may have done some of the this already, but please follow the procedures below completely:

You will need to disconnect from the Internet for some of the following, so you'll need to print out the following instructions, or save them into a text file with Notepad.

1. Download, install, and run these CWS/HSA/About:Blank - specific removal tools:

CWShredder - http://www.intermute.com/spysubtrac...r_download.html
about:Buster - http://www.majorgeeks.com/AboutBuster_d4289.html
HSRemove - http://www.majorgeeks.com/HSRemove_d4286.html
Sp.html-Se.dll Hijack Fix - http://www.majorgeeks.com/Sp.html-S...00XP_d4617.html

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

3. 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:

ewido Security Suite - http://www.ewido.net/en/download/
Microsoft Anti-Spyware beta - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...&displaylang=en
Ad Aware SE Personal - http://www.lavasoftusa.com/
SpyBot Search & Destroy - http://www.safer-networking.org/

4. Reboot into safe mode (you get to the safe mode boot option by hitting the F8 key as your computer is starting up)

- Open Windows Explorer, and in the Folder Options->View settings under the Tools menu, select "show hidden files and folders", and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" and "Hide extentions for known file types".

- For every user account listed under C:\Documents and Settings, delete the entire contents of these folders (but not the folders themselves):

Important: One of the normal steps in eliminating malicious programs is to entirely delete the contents of all Temp folders. Given that, if any data that you care about is living in those Temp folders, you need to move it to a safe location now, or it will be erased along with everything else!

1. Cookies
2. Local Settings\Temp
3. Local Settings\History
4. Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

- Delete the entire content of your C:\Windows\Temp folder.

- Delete the entire content of your C:\Windows\Prefetch folder.

Note- 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. Windows will allow you to delete the versions of those files which exist in sub-folders within the main Temp/Temorary folders, but might not let you delete the versions of those files that exist in the main Temp folders themselves; this is normal and OK.

- Empty your Recycle Bin.

5. Reboot normally. Run HijackThis again and post the new log. Also post the Scan Report that ewido generated.

[Seizurebear]

Here is my updated HiJackThis log. Although I ran a scan with Ewido I am now unable to retrieve and post a log from it.

Thanks again for all your time. :)

Good work- your latest HJT log looks much cleaner. :)

Still a bit of clean-up to do though:

1. Uninstall SpyFighter; the program has a dubious reputation at best. You can find more info about SpyFighter and other disreputable and/or outright bogus "anti-spyware" products at this site. Before downloading any free anti-spyware programs, it's a good idea to consult that site.

2. Run another HijackThis scan, put a check mark in the box to the left of the following entries, and then click the "Fixed Checked" button:

R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [javajw.exe] C:\WINNT\javajw.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SpyFighterUpdate] "C:\Program Files\SpyFighter\AutoUpdate.exe" silent
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SpyFighterMonitor] "C:\Program Files\SpyFighter\SpyFighter.exe" monitor
