Help with Hijackware
http://aumha.org/a/parasite.htm http://aumha.org/a/quickfix.htm http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm http://inetexplorer.mvps.org/Darnit.htm CoolWebSearch Chronicles http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/cwschronicles.html Run these tools in the following order with nothing else running in background: 1. CWShredder (fix all found) 2. Ad-Aware (fix all found) 3. Spybot (RTFM but generally fix everything in red) Important: You *must* seek updates for Ad-Aware, Spybot, etc., before each and every use, even "right out of the box". But even they can't catch everything, 24/7. When all else fails, HijackThis (http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/HijackThis.exe) is the preferred tool to use. It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. **Post your files to http://forums.spywareinfo.com/ or http://forum.aumha.org/viewforum.php?f=30 for expert analysis, not here.** [Alternate download pages for many of the above tools may be found at http://aumha.org/a/parasite.htm.] Also: 1. Download and run Stinger (http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/); then... 2. Update your virus definitions, enable Show Hidden Files (http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...02092715262339) and run a full system scan in Safe Mode (http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...01052409420406) with nothing else running in background. Note the files identified and removed then find the corresponding page for the file at your AV maker's online support pages (e.g., http://securityresponse.symantec.com...favorites.html) and follow all Removal steps. WinXP Only (WinME similar): If this scan finds anything, create a new Restore Point then Disk Cleanup More options Delete all but the most rec ent Restore Point.
