Hi

First you need to download, update and run both AdAware and Spybot S&D both from my sig below.

Then you need to update Hijackthis to the current version, which you can also find in my sig, unzip it to a permanent folder, and not on the desktop or in a temp directory.

Now with all Internet browsers closed, run a hijackthis scan and post the new log.

I am unable to load the newer version of Hijack This, but had some hope that if I scanned with lavasoft and spybot and tried to close some programs on browser, the log may be more helpful . I cannot close all programs... as computer shuts down
...joal

The newest version of hijackthis is 1.98.2, so you are still running the older version. Did you try using the update feature within hijackthis? If so and that didn't work, try downloading it from a website. You can try this one:

http://www.computercops.biz/zx/merjin/hijackthis.zip

You can probably go ahead and use the older version of HJT until your system gets cleaned up enough to get the latest one easier. HJT has an Update feature within it or you can try to get it from here:
http://www.softpedia.com/progDownlo...nload-5034.html

First thing you should do is download sysclean from http://www.trendmicro.com/download/dcs.asp making sure to download and install the latest pattern file. There's a link to it at the lower left-hand colum of the page. Note that it will not work without the pattern file which must be unzipped into the same folder as sysclean. Let it scan and fix anything it finds; it may take awhile.

After that finishes, close all windows, scan with HJT, and have it fix the following entries:

There will be more, but that will need to be handled by the pro's.

Next, go to Windows Update and get all the Critical Updates for your system.

Get SpywareBlaster from here:
http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html
Update it and have it enable all protection.

Reboot and, if you haven't been able to yet, try again to update HJT.

Close all windows, scan with HJT, and post a new log.

Great I was about to ask if someone would be kind enough to work with this log so that I could make an attempt to update the existing HJT.
It will take me several days,
thanks much
joal

Download CWShredder from here & run it. Select the fix button & it will fix everything related to CoolWebSearch that is stored in it's database. Close ALL windows, including Internet Explorer, before running CWShredder. Reboot.

To help prevent this from happening again, install the patches for the vulnerabilities that this hijacker exploits by going here for your critical updates.

Reboot after doing this & post another log please.

For several days, I have tried as many sites and ways as I know to download the CW Shredder, even the program that one loads prior if the coolsearch / is keeping one from a download of shredder.Also cannot load Sysclean, I was able to download patternfile, but that was all, and I tried this many times as well.
I was able to delete the files mentioned above from the log I gave, as suggested by dlh6213, this has helped tremendously. I still can't interest anyone in burning the newer HJT, so ..... are there anymore files I could delete? Is there a program that collsearch doesn't recognize yet? I may have a bit of a wait.....
thanks
joal

Private message me your email addy & I will send the latest version of hijackthis to you. Will also send CWShredder.

There seems to be a new StartPage Spyware Removal Tool for IE October 15, 2004 , it's by Softpedia, any imput on this?
To date I cannot download any updated version of HJT nor the CWS Shredder, or the smartool type program that loads prior to the shredder.
I did have a thread with a log from an old version of HJT, and it helped to delete [help of what to delete provided here]
I am wondering if I have a variant of the cws trojan that keeps any downloads from being installed,
I do have Spybot and managed to get a relatively new version of "Lava softs" adware remover, and also the updated version from windows, what wouldn't download, I have saved an icon to finish download in possible near future.
Also hearing rumor that HJT may not be updated again......
Trying to keep computer running , have security high... the msconfig constantly readjusts no matter what I do.
Thanks
joal :cry:

I am grateful for you're extending yourself, began a new thread, not sure it was appropiate.
joal

Progress, was able to get critcal objects in quarantine and a few removed before computer froze, the first in some time since the CWS scum. [referring to Ad Aware SE]
joal

You should keep to the same thread to avoid any confusion :). I will go look for it & merge it with this one.

What happened to the files I sent you by email? Did you receive them?

Yes, tried for two days, ask friend to help, but they came up empty, although once the CWShredder was there, but when I tried to use it, it came up "error".
If I didn't have a witness, I would think I was bonkers.
I have been able to delete now on Ad Aware , I am hoping i could get the files down enough to load the program that is used prior to the Shredder.
But.... I am having to quarantine about 900 critical objects a day, and delete , I updated windows, set security, msconfig changes itself, and files replicate and move around...... Thanks much for all the help you have given
joal

Can you post me a new log please.

This is the only HJT version I can download
thanks
joal

Reboot normally after doing the above, rescan with hijackthis making certain that all instances of Internet Explorer are closed, then post that log here please.

As you will see, I rebooted and got the files back that I checked and HJT got rid of.
I cannot reboot in safe mode, windows will not load.
I am getting "error"....windows cannot find BXX5.DLL, .. but nevertheless it is running.
is it possible to delete in a normal mode. the following..
tv media
sidefind
etc the ones you suggested to delete in safe mode.... uh... where do I find them to delete in either mode?
On the day I was severely infected with this scum, I noticed many gibberish files in windows and deleted, one was gnjivgpg.dll which HJT shows, can I delete this?
I included the log, though it is all back

Oh, under running process to delete tv media etc, ok, is it possible to delete in normal mode?
My computer no longer shuts off by itself,
thanks
joal

If you are having trouble with hijackthis fixing the problem it is possibly because you have Internet Explorer open Hijackthis cannot work correctly if even ONE instance of Internet Explorer remains open.
You will find the files to delete manually by opening Windows explorer (Not IE) & going to the directory where the file/folder is. For instance, if you want to delete C:\WINDOWS\BXXS5.DLL you go to C which is your hard drive, then go down to Windows & open that by double clicking on it. From there you search within that folder for the file.
The gibberish file can be deleted.
Follow the instructions from my previous post except for the safe mode part. You will have to reboot first. If you still have problems I will give you instructions to try a different way of removal.
I am off now until tomorrow, so I will check how you go then :).

This is log after reboot, deleted tv media, could not find rest under c/program files, could only locate them under msconfig.....???

Looking a lot better. Have hijackthis fix these then delete the file\folder manually;

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [bxxs5] RunDLL32.EXE C:\WINDOWS\BXXS5.DLL,DllRun

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [TV Media] C:\WINDOWS\TV MEDIA\Tvm.exe

How is your computer since removing those files?

My computer is working great, and much thanks to you, I get a warning about
[bxxs5] RunDLL32.EXE C:\WINDOWS\BXXS5.DLL,DllRun

I deleted all back up files, on Hijack This, and also some gibberish files, and lost internet connection, tho I had back up files created for this event, I chose to upgrade to aol9.0 and now have some on line aids .
Aol is not my choice ultimately, but it will keep me running and hopefully I will be able to download some updates and keep more current.
I am grateful for your patience and help...... still working on getting the new Hijack This
joal

Download LSPfix from here
On the opening screen, click the "I know what I'm doing" checkbox. Then click Finish.

That should restore your Winsock files for your internet connection.
Make sure that the file you are getting the error message for is removed from hijackthis. It sounds like the file is gone, but the registry entry is still there.

Thanks much
the CWShredder looks good, I now have it, and have been updating spybot and adaware.
Will be trying to download HJT newest version, but need to keep up with updates and keep track .
joal

Cool :). Post the log when you manage to get it.

well, I cannot download the updated HJT, fustrating, I have tried every site listed from this forum, and navigating is now difficult as my cursor is freezing constantly.
The AOL Optimized has quirks, and have had to spend much time in the technical help section.
I run either Ad Aware or Spybot everyday, and the CWShredder gives a clean bill of health, but there seems to be a wide varity of scumware that these two programs find.
