Hi.

I had problems with my IE. There was that CWS malware. So after 2 days I finally get rid of it - no more search ads and pop-ups. But my program SpyFerret shows that there is something left in registry..
It says that i have:

1. Common Extension hijack (default registry file handler (Registry exchange)) = Trojan

2. CWS (Registry key (Registry key)) = Malware

I have a demo of SpyFerret, so i cant fix anything with it. I have also the latest version of CWShredder and it cant find anything (cause "everything is fixed already"). I scanned with HijackThis, maybe someone can help me and tell what to fix there? Anyway thanks. Here is log file:

SpyFerret makes the list of bad spyware removers.It will report bad stuff to fix trying to get you to pay for the program .Why pay when there are free one that are much better .
http://www.spywarewarrior.com/viewtopic.php?t=68

Might I suggest Ad-Aware and Spybot ,I see you allready use spy-bot ,trust what it want to fix as its one of the best , so give ad-aware a whirl.

Download the latest version of Ad-Aware at ADAWARE

Download SPYBOT
