Hi mdseamon,

You might want to save this page on your favorites, so you can find it again when you return. You can also click on your name and click on "Find All Posts" to find your thread.

Please move HijackThis to another location, preferably c:\Program Files\HijackThis. Anywhere is fine, other than your Desktop or a Temp folder. If HijackThis is in a temporary folder you run the risk of accidentally deleting the backups or it clutters your desktop with all the backups.
If you use Windows XP it might be that you just double clicked on the file HijackThis.exe, but that only extracts the file to a temporary folder. Please select the file and Extract it to a folder.

How do you make a permanent folder:

Click "My Computer", then "C:\" and then on "Program Files".
In the menu bar, "File"->"New"->"Folder".
That will create a folder named "New Folder", which you can rename to "HJT" or "HijackThis".
Now you have "C:\Program Files\HijackThis". Put your HijackThis.exe there.

Download Killbox by Option^Explicit. Extract it from the zip file.

You have a CoolWebSearch Infection. Please download CoolWebShredder, from http://www.intermute.com/spysubtract/cwshr...r_download.html
Extract CWShredder to its own folder. Restart in Safe Mode (How do I Safe Boot my computer?) and run the program.

Be sure all open windows are closed. Click the "Fix ->" button.

Make sure you let it fix all CWS Remnants.

Afterwards restart your computer.

Run HijackThis, click on "Scan" and check the boxes next to all these items.

Then close all windows, and browsers, except HijackThis. Tell HijackThis to "Fix checked".

Double-click on Killbox.exe to run it. Click on "Delete on Reboot", in the "Full Path of File to Delete" box, enter c:\Windows\System32\zfyuh2nw35scd2.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll and click on the button with the white cross in a red circle. You will get a question "File will be Deleted on Next Reboot, Process & Reboot now?", answer "Yes". Let Killbox do it's work.

Restart your computer in Safe Mode. How do I Safe Boot my computer?

Show hidden files. How do I show hidden files?

Folders and files with a tilde (~), means that there is a file/folder that starts with the six characters in front of the tilde, note that there may be spaces in the name. If there are more than one, please report them back and do not delete!

Delete the following files in red (it could be that they are deleted already):

C:\WINDOWS\system32\GH24HM~1.DLL
C:\WINDOWS\system32\jr6c0k6obwlfthd.exe
