Hijacked... again!!!

[Ste-V-B]

I am feeling much shame, here!

I have Hijack this and CWS Shredder and have attempted to do all I can do, even removed MS Java VM, updated to SP1 AND downloaded the latest patches, but my page keeps going to "res://mshp.dll/index.html#37049"

When I run CWS Shredder, all is clean EXCEPT the following:

CWS affiliat: Winshow = REMOVED
Restoring Internet Explorer Pages = RESTORED

And when I run Hijack this, scans similar to the following are returned:

I read in another post that the following folders/files should also be deleted:

C:\Program Files\Submit\
C:\Documents and Settings\Brad\Application Data\winug\
and this file
C:NO_SUCH_MHT.MHT

but they do not exist on my machine...

Help!!!

[cincisteve]

You are still getting the Cool Web Search hijack. Make sure you have the latest version of CWShredder; go to this link: http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip

When you have run that, get the latest version of HijackThis and post a new log: http://mjc1.com/mirror/hjt/

 

[Ste-V-B]

cincisteve - It looks like that may have done it! It's interesting, though, when I ran the newer version, it did not indicate that it was removing or resorting anything, yet my home page is my own again...

Thanks again, all!

Consider this case closed...
