Hi guys,
I have a problem that I could really use some help with, if you don't mind?
I, in the last three days, since somebody (nameless) decided to dl a screensaver on the torrent networks.
I am usually so concious of this sort of activity that up till now I have had maybe 2 attacks in the last 6 years, and I have tried thus far to eradicate it (this recent problem), but must now bow down to far greater knowledge than I possess!
Ok, what happens is that I start a firefox or IE7 page, and within maybe 10 seconds; I get pop-ups beginning with: url.cpvfeed.com in the title bar. IE7 only allows the occasional one to actually point to a site for some reason, with most coming up with a "page cannot be displayed" title.
Added to which, if I use google - which is my homepage - I get a smaller window with CasaleMedia search function also pop-up.
So far I have:
A) Used my adaware and AVG installs, to no avail.
B) Used Spybot in safe mode, which comes up as clean system
C) Found Casalemedia in the reg, and deleted it in safe mode.
D) Switched off system restore now and re-tried all the above.
E) Done an on-line pandascan which cashed, incidentally!
F) Run Hijack-this v1.99 from the desktop, as is in the faq.
G) Tried to use XsoftSpyXE which brings up confusing results.
H) After searching on the net, I used another prog (avenger) to try to kill core.exe (which I believe maybe part of the problem) in C:windows\system32\drivers. Avenger said that it could not execute the script on it, btw...
Guys, I post the following hijack this log for your much appreciated attention, although looking at it myself, I could not at first see references to my problem, but I am a newb to this, and would not see where the problem was. I woud really appreciate your help!!!!
