I will just concentrate on the first one for now. They both need work, but the first has THE hardest to remove hijacker yet. We'll get rid of some of the easy trash first, then go on to the main prize. You have to do all the work so I wish you well.

You have the peper trojan. Download the removal tool from here & allow it to proceed with it's fix. There will be no dialogue. Note that you must be online when you run the tool for it to be effective. You must then reboot your computer.

Unzip HJT into it's own permanent folder before doing anything in order for it to create backups. (Not a temporary folder or 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' :

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

C:\docume~1\peter\locals~1\temp< entire folder contents
C:\PROGRA~1\rdrdoeslocks< folder
C:\Program Files\AutoUpdate< folder
C:\WINDOWS\system32\pcs< folder

Reboot normally. We will concentrate on the main problem when all this is cleaned up. Forget the other computer for now.
:mrgreen:

k, ithe link you gave to uninstall peper trojon gave me a file that didnt work so i googled peper trojan and went to http://www.kephyr.com and DL bazooka spyware scanner. that removed about 90% of what you want in HJT. then i finished off what you wanted in HJT that bazooka didnt find.

what now? I still get hijacked attempts on the computer so its not fully free from crap

PS: i no oticed you help a lot of people with the HJT logs, so in case you dont hear it from every1 else, THANK YOU crunchie for your time and effort

sry,prev post is wrg; hijack attemps have finally stopped, i know because the hijacked page was about:blank but contained a annoying search page, but not when IE opened the about:blank was actually blank

k, 1 comp down, 1 to go

thanks again

I would keep a look out because all these entries have not been fixed & they are a sure sign of the latest CWS infection.

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = res://C:\WINDOWS\System32\bimmiha.dll/sp.html (obfuscated)

What went wrong with the link I gave? that is the one I give out all the time. As I wrote B4, there is no dialogue during the removal, & you need to be on line. I would like to see another log from that one if I can.

May as well do the second log for now. First of all we have to remove Newdotnet, either from add/remove programs, or by going here. & scrolling down to the uninstall tool.

Then Unzip HJT into it's own permanent folder before doing anything in order for it to create backups. (Not a temporary folder or 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' :

Delete this folder after a reboot: C:\PROGRA~1\Toolbar<<<<

Thats all.

PS: i no oticed you help a lot of people with the HJT logs, so in case you dont hear it from every1 else, THANK YOU crunchie for your time and effort

No problems & thanx very much. Try to do as much as I can for the cause. Will have to slow down for the next 4-5 weeks due to work commitments so I may not get back to you till later on Monday GMT + 8 hours.

k, and i dont know what went wrong last time but the file worked this time. All I have done on the 1st computer is run the file you gave. Should I remove
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = res://C:\WINDOWS\System32\bimmiha.dll/sp.html (obfuscated)

I took a new step to help protect things in the future, setting all xp accounts to restricted and 1 admin only when somethings needs to be done(my main login is restricted too and made a seperate admin to use when I need it).Hopefully this is a proactive step, what do you think about it?

k, i am now going to work on the laptop

PS: dont worry about time, I have studing to do and so I have plenty of time to spare.

k, i finished the laptop, should i make a new HJT log for both so you can look over it and make sure nothing was skiped over?

You can remove them but they will return. There is a specialised tool to remove it now, but I don't want to do that now until the laptop is cleared.

k, I already finished the laptop, ill just post the new logs

for the 1st computer:

Run start.bat again and choose option '2'. You must reboot after doing so. Let it finish it's cleanup.

Update and run AdAware : http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/ (make sure you have latest updates) and run it. Remove anything it finds.

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 after doing this & post another log please.

and the new HJT log...
