I seem to have got a new home page and it always comes back even when I change it. I am posting my hijackthis log, I hope someone can help me get rid of it. My shortcuts to windows media player have seemed to disappear too. Please help me before I lose everything.:-|

Good progress — the follow-up log shows the persistent homepage entries are gone, so the remover that recommended did what it was meant to do and ’s follow-up scan confirms improvement. This thread is from April 2004, so readers landing here later should treat the steps below as a general cleanup and hardening checklist rather than a strict, time‑bound how‑to.

After an automated removal, do a short verification and cleanup routine: reboot and run a fresh diagnostic scan (save the new log), run a full scan with an up‑to‑date antivirus and an up‑to‑date anti‑spyware/on‑demand scanner, and clear temporary Internet files and cookies. Inspect browser add‑ons/toolbars and uninstall or disable anything unfamiliar. Check desktop and Start‑menu shortcuts (right‑click → Properties) to make sure the Target is the real program executable and not an added URL or extra command line.

Address persistence and leftovers safely: disable System Restore briefly to purge any infected restore points, then re‑enable and create a fresh restore point. Trim startup clutter using your OS startup manager (or a trusted startup utility) but do not remove entries unless you know what they do — back up the registry or create a full system backup first. As pointed out, removing unnecessary autorun items reduces both resource use and exposure.

Finally, harden to prevent recurrence: keep the OS, browser and plugins updated, avoid bundled toolbars and unknown downloads, and maintain regular backups. If homepage hijacks or missing shortcuts reappear after these steps, the most reliable recovery is restoring from a known‑clean backup or performing a clean OS install.

Download CWShredder from & run it. Select the fix button & it will get rid of everything related to CoolWebSearch. Close ALL other programs & windows, including IE, before running CWShredder.

Reboot after doing this & post another log please. There will be more to do!!

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [TaskMonitor] C:\WINDOWS\taskmon.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QuickTime Task] "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\QTTASK.EXE" -atboottime

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [TkBellExe] "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Update_OB\realsched.exe" -osboot

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [LDM] C:\Program Files\Logitech\Desktop Messenger\8876480\Program\BackWeb-8876480.exe
