I've split your post off from the other thread. We always want individual topics here, rather than "piggybacks".

Please follow these instructions and post a new HijackThis Scanlog when done:

Have these instructions printed or in a convenient Notepad (or Wordpad) file so you can view them in Safe Mode. Have "show hidden (or all) files" checked in Folder Options > View in case you have to search for any hidden files to delete. Also ensure you do NOT have "hide file extensions..." enabled in Folder Options > View

Download and unzip to a convenient location the CoolWebShredder, CWShredder.exe available here: http://www.computercops.biz/downloads-cat-14.html

Then:

1 >> Restart in Safe Mode: http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...01052409420406

2 >> In Safe Mode run the CoolWebShredder and have it "fix" detected problems. Then run HijackThis and check and "fix" the following entries:

^^^ yes Kazaa is a source of these issues and should be fully removed using Kazaabegone; I will give you a like at the bottom.

3 >> Delete the following files or folders:

C:\Program Files\MyWay\myBar\1.bin\MYBAR.DLL >> MYWay Folder
C:\Program Files\websx\int339890.exe >> websx Folder
C:\Program Files\Common Files\CMEII\CMESys.exe >> CMEII Folder
c:\program files\altnet\points manager\points manager.exe >> Altnet Folder
C:\Program Files\Common Files\GMT\GMT.exe >> GMT folder

Additional cleanup instructions: Go to the Control Panel > Internet Options applet. Clear the Temporary Internet Cache, History and Offline Content. Go to the Programs tab and select "reset web settings", including your home page if it has been altered. You can reset that later to what you desire.


4 >> on rebooting you will need to install, UPDATE, and run a full Ad-aware scan following directions here:

Ad-Aware Home Page and Ad-Aware 6: Reference Guide by Winchester73

How Did I Get Infected?

{Basic Ad-Aware instructions: 1. Check for Updates. 2. Start > Activate in depth scan. 3. (note: green checks = enabled, it is best to leave defaults unless problems are encountered). 4. Use custom scanning options > Customize > Drives and Folders = Scan within Archives > Memory and Registry = check all. 5. Tweak > Scanning Engine = Unload recognized processes during scanning > Cleaning Engine = let windows remove files in use at next reboot > Proceed > Next. Upon completion > Select All. 6. Reboot}
