[g2i2r4]

Can you post me the Panda report too?


You are running both SpySweeper and AVG actively.

Please disable one and make sure the other one is updated.


The logs look clean.

Let me know what the remaining Antivirus finds. Do make sure there's just one running activily.

Thanks a lot for your help.
How about the log from ewido that's saying that I have spyware cookie?

[g2i2r4]

Cookies are small files made once you visite sites. Ewido cleaned them out nicely.

Let's see if we can remove the CWS finding.

Please download Intermute's CWShredder from here:
http://cwshredder.ne.../CWShredder.exe
Save it to the desktop but do NOT run it yet.

Then please download About:Buster from here:
http://www.malwareby...boutBuster5.zip
Unzip it to the desktop, run it, Check for Updates, and update the files, but do NOT run a scan yet.

Next, please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following:
1) Restart your computer
2) After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
3) Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
4) Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.

For additional help in booting into Safe Mode, see the following site:
http://www.pchell.co.../safemode.shtml


Once in Safe Mode, please run CWShredder, and click Fix.

Then please run About:Buster and click Start to begin the scan. If prompted to end the Explorer.exe process, click Yes. Your desktop may disappear --- this is normal. Allow the program to scan twice, and when complete click "Save Log". This will create a text file called "AB Logfile.txt" in the folder where About:Buster is saved. I will want to see this logfile later.

Reboot back to normal mode.

Download this file
http://users.telenet...files/HSfix.zip
Unzip it to the desktop.
Double-click the file.

Can you show me the log and tell me what cwshredder did?

Edited by g2i2r4, 12 August 2005 - 03:54 AM.

Please go through the following steps to remove the Registry finding.
1. Download cws-hsa.reg to your desktop

• Use an AntiVirus Software - It is very important that your computer has an anti-virus software running on your machine. This alone can save you a lot of trouble with malware in the future.
  
  See this link for a listing of some online & their stand-alone antivirus programs:
  
  Virus, Spyware, and Malware Protection and Removal Resources
  
  
• Update your AntiVirus Software - It is imperitive that you update your Antivirus software at least once a week (Even more if you wish). If you do not update your antivirus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.
  
  
• Use a Firewall - I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer. Without a firewall your computer is succeptible to being hacked and taken over. I am very serious about this and see it happen almost every day with my clients. Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly.
  
  For a tutorial on Firewalls and a listing of some available ones see the link below:
  
  Understanding and Using Firewalls
  
  
• Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.
  
  
• Install Spybot - Search and Destroy - Install and download Spybot - Search and Destroy with its TeaTimer option. This will provide realtime spyware & hijacker protection on your computer alongside your virus protection. You should also scan your computer with program on a regular basis just as you would an antivirus software.

• Update all these programs regularly - Make sure you update all the programs I have listed regularly. Without regular updates you WILL NOT be protected when new malicious programs are released.
