Hi, I want to get rid of this www.lookfor.cc search pop up thing. I've run Ad-aware and set the settings to how it said on aother post, then I've run the 'Hijack This' program and done the scan, I've fixed a couple of files which I know that should be fixed, but I'm not sure on the rest of the log, this is how it stands now:

Please can you advise on what to do now, many thanks for your help :)

You have a CoolWebSearch infection. Download CWShredder from http://209.133.47.200/~merijn/files/CWShredder.exe & run it. Select the fix button & it will get rid of everything related to CoolWebSearch. Close ALL other programs including IE before running CWShredder. Reboot after doing this & post another log please.

Many thanks.....here is the new log :)

Here is the new log.

You still have some problems. Remove the following:

N1 - Netscape 4: user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", "http://www.worldusa.com"); (C:\Program Files\Netscape\Users\sproston\prefs.js)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ngbcdlg] "C:\WINDOWS\System32\ngbcdlg.exe"

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [WTSS] C:\WINDOWS\System32\wapitr.exe

O14 - IERESET.INF: START_PAGE_URL=http://www.tiny.com/uk

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Removing these is optional, but highly recommended:

O4 - Global Startup: Microsoft Office.lnk = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\OSA9.EXE

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

O16 - DPF: {56336BCB-3D8A-11D6-A00B-0050DA18DE71} (RdxIE Class) - http://software-dl.real.com/27d13de...ip/RdxIE601.cab

you can download "Utilities 2004".Run `Reg.editor',Search for every instance of it and delete the key it takes you to.It is sugested to make a back up of every `key'which is deleted JUST IN CASE a wrong key is deleted.

Many thanks, Crunchie and Tallcool1 :)
