I'm quite a novice and completely new to this site, but here are some details which I hope may be of help: (originally I posted this in the wrong place, with mistakes, and it was the wrong log too, using an older Hijack This! Sorry.)
Anyway....
My Wannadoo home page was suddenly coming up blank and with the title "about blank".
3 sex-related sites were added to bottom of favourites drop down list.
AVG reported many '.exe' files repeatedly, especially immediately after going on online.
Full AVG scan revealed 16 "trojan horse" things, 14 in C/windows, and 2 in C/Windows/system.
(examples: wp.exe, mskmidi.exe, javapb.exe, iedp32.exe, etc) - all were listed as 'Downloader Agent 11or 12. BA or H or Q or D' except for 'mskmidi.exe' which was listed as a trojan horse 'starter page.18.2'
Adaware revealed 27 critical objects, 25 of which were 'coolwebsearch' related.
Cwshredder (last merijin version) ran - nothing found.
New/updated Cwshredder ran - nothing found.
First I used the old HijackThis to carefully clear one or two things that looked dodgy, and then, I noticed that in Control Panel - Add/Remove programs, there were 3 things that shouldn't have been there, and wouldn't be removed -
"Home Search Assistent" (sic)
"Search Extender"
"Shopping Wizard"
I used regedit to back-up these keys before removing them. (HKLM,Soft, Mic, Win, CV, uninstall etc)
The pc seems to be fine now, but I was just wondering if everything has gone - and so I thought I would post this new HijackThis log to see if anyone can offer any advice. Thankyou.
