Not only that, but my AIM signs off by itself a lot. Please help...I ran Ad-Aware and Spybot countless times and this keeps happening...and I'm using Firefox.

[WatermelonX]

It redirects to these pages:
http://www.searc-h.com/normal/yyy65.html
http://www.mega-savings.com/normal/yyy65.html
http://www.deal-pro.com/normal/XBDYUS.html
http://www.virtual-free.com/normal/yyy65.html
And the popups are similar to those.
Popup:
http://www.starware.com/2.0.0.0/landing/weather/weather_01.php?banner=w0001&aff_id=weatherazoogle

And my computer just restarted by itself! :eek: That's not a good sign.

[nizzy1115]

what anti spyware programs have you run...try them all...also disconnect from the internet...pull the modem cable or ethernet cable out of the back of your computer before you start running the anti spyware scans. Since you have a hjt log im sure your familar with these but if you are not just let us know.
Also, what i like to do, is run first adaware, then spysweeper, then microsoft antispy, then spybot. Then restart my computer without doing anything else and do the scans again. Also a good place to start would be to clear all the internet explorer cookies and cash and run disk cleanup aswell. Let us know after youve messed around with these scanners a bit.

I did what you told me to do but my computer is still experiencing popups and LOADS of redirecting whenever I open Firefox.

[nizzy1115]

im really not an expert at this kindof stuff in anyway...but maybe if you install the google toolbar it can block some of your popups...this obviously wont stop the browser redirection tho...

http://www.noadware.net/download/index.htm ive tried this program before and ive fixed some bad trojans and this is what is sounds like you have...give it a try and post back

[nizzy1115]

....hmmm i just tried this program again after downloading it and its not free anymore...but it seams that after i visited the links you provided there is a severe installed on my computer now called starwind...

the last entry on your hjt log was StarWind iSCSI Service (StarWindService) - Rocket Division Software - C:\Program Files\Alcohol Soft\Alcohol 120\StarWind\StarWindService.exe

i saw that this program looks legit but maybe its not...maybe its also a suspect?

This is the program i was looking for...it should do the job and its free. All you have to do is quickly register (they send you a password in the email.) im running it again and its picking up tons of stuff including the starware that adaware, zonealarms, spysweepers, spybot, and microsofts anti spyware werent.

[just_a_nobody]

You have a CWS (CoolWebSearch) spyware variant. Download and run CWSShredder to remove it.
Download CWShredder here: http://www.trendmicro.com/ftp/products/online-tools/cwshredder.exe
Run CWShredder first.

Malicious

These entries have been positively identified as malicious programs. In the HijackThis program, place a check mark next to the following entries.

R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = c:\secure32.html
(Description: CoolWebSearch browser hijacker.)

1) Press the "Fix checked" button. Then close HijackThis.

2) Then reboot your computer.

3) Empty your recycle bin.

4) Run Windows Update and install all critical updates.

5) Make sure your anti-virus program is up to date with the latest patches. If you do not have an anti-virus program, download and install AVG Personal Edition Anti-Virus, which is free.

6) Reboot one last time. Your PC should now be free from spyware!

Also, download a trial version of Ewido. You can download a trial version of Ewido here: http://www.ewido.net/en/

Also, download all the latest Windows updates for added security and the latest file updates.
Be sure you update it before using it, and when it finds a problem, be sure to select the check box to do the same action (clean) when it finds a problem, otherwise, you will have to click continue, to keep scanning with every problem it finds.

Here is a list of programs (those in bold) that will help keep stuff off your computer.

I only list here, the programs that I have used and I’m satisfied with, I know there are other great programs, but these are just the ones that I use, and can verify, as being worthy.
