So, yes, CWS hit me again.

I scanned with ad-aware - latest updates - before making the log here.

Thank you for all your help!

You are advised to temporarily DISABLE the following Protection Programs:
  • Lavasoft's Ad-Watch
(Note: We will re-ENABLE them later after your system is all clean and malware free.)

Please read this post completely, it may make it easier for you if you copy and paste this post to a new text document or print it for reference later.

This will likely be a few step process in removing the malware that has infected your system. I encourage you to stick with it and follow my directions as closely as possible so as to avoid complicating the problem further.

You have a nasty CoolWebSearch infection. First we will need to download a few tools that will help us in the removal of your problem.

Please Download the stand-alone version of CoolWebShredder
Download Cleanup, but do NOT run it yet.

If you have not already installed Ad-Aware SE 1.06, follow these download and setup instructions, otherwise, check for updates:
Ad-Aware SE Setup
Don't run the scan yet!
Close Ad-Aware.

Save all of these files somewhere you will remember like to the Desktop.

Update CWShredder
  • Open CWShredder and click I AGREE
  • Click Check For Update
  • Close CWShredder
Reboot in SAFE MODE. (How to boot in Safe Mode...)
==============================================
Run CWShredder. Click I Agree, then Fix and then Next, let it fix everything it asks about.

Run Ad-Aware and do a full system scan, fix all found infections.

Be sure to View Hidden and System Files.

Through Windows Explorer, delete the following folder(s) or files(s) if they exist (in bold):
  • C:\WINDOWS\System32\msole32.exe
Finally, Empty Recycle Bin

Now run CleanUp!. Click CleanUp and allow it to delete all the temporary files. Reboot your computer into normal windows.
==============================================
Please run an on-line virus scan at Kaspersky Online Scan or if that doesnt work, you can have an On-line scan at this sites:
Trend Micro or Panda Scan or BitDefender.
(Please post the results of the scan(s) in your next reply)

After all that, please post back with how things went as well as the logs requested and a new HiJackThis log.

Good Luck!
