hi, new to the forums, have always been able to deal w/ my spyware issues myself. this one, however, has been bugging me for about 15 hours now (probably 2 spent on trying to get rid of the [bleep] thing). i had localnrd on my machine before, but i deleted the files and the registry keys that i found by doing a search for it. additionally, i've used adaware (up to date) and the cleaner (up to date). also, i uninstalled some of the programs that you can see in the control panel (sidesearch and more easy ones to get rid of). the one that's really giving me a problem is that pesky worldnetsearch. i've tried to fix all those values numerous times while trying to apply other fixes, to no avail. also, in IE, i can't navigate to any page that i type in. the page simply stays there and sets off my monitoring programs like tcactive and tcmonitor. i normally use firefox, but there are certain things that i have to use internet explorer for . thanks in advance for any help you can provide. here is my log.

didn't see an edit button so i figured i'd just reply. i'm a little concerned w/ the explorer.exe process. unless i'm mistaken, that's not where that should be, is it?

Reboot your PC.

If you would please, rescan with HijackThis and post a fresh log, and let us know how your system's working.

[admin]

C:\WINNT\Explorer.EXE

Is correct. C:\WINNT\System 32\Explorer.EXE would be a problem.

[quacktastic]

ok, did what you said ditto (except that i rebooted into safe mode) and everything looked fine. i expected this, so i let it sit for a minute or two, and then re-ran the hijack this. needless to say, it went back to how it was before the reboot and hijack this fix. i will post both the logs.

log 1: notice the general aura of cleanliness (except for possibly that explorer.exe, although admin vouched for it)

pissed off but very grateful for the help,

I think we're seeing something new here.

Everything looks okay, except for the hijacks.

Please download GetService.zip
Extract it to a new folder in the desktop. Double click on the Getservice.bat file to run it. This will create and open a text file named getservice.txt in the same folder. It will then open getservice.txt for you.
getservice.txt will list all active Services. Copy and paste the contents of getservice.txt in your next reply here.

k, did as you asked, i've been messing with a bunch of the other free progams you list on ur site. search and destroy bot found coolwwwsearch (used the cw shredder, took care of that one apparently), dso exploit, and searchforit. have been looking for a way to get rid of searchforit, although i have clicked the fix button. at any rate, here is the post from the getservice batch file.

argh, you guys really need to get an edit button

Pretty sure we do.

[admin]

Yeah, it was a CoolWebSearch infection. Not enough sleep yesterday I guess.

Just to be sure we should see another log as ditto requested.

P.S. You should have an edit button near the top right of the window.
