Hello all,

Running Windows XP, I ran a full Windows Update but am still getting new spyware notifications after every Ad-Aware run (regardless of whether I've been online in the meantime). Also during Ad-Aware run, XP mentions failing programs including Explorer.exe. Symantec online virus scan produces 0 results.

Below is a HijackThis log, run immediately after Ad-Aware clean up. Can you help out? Help will be greatly appreciated.

--thanks, cronopio. :tazz:

This is a variant of CoolWebSearch that redirects your homepage to about:blank. It also installs a malicious service that prevents it from being fixed. We need to eliminate that service.
  • Obtain list of irregular services:
  • Please download ServiceFilter.
  • Unzip ServiceFilter.zip to a convenient folder like C:\ServiceFilter.
  • Navigate to where you unzipped it and double-click on ServiceFilter.vbs.
  • If you have an active anti-virus it might prevent the script from starting. Please allow the script to run.
  • It will open a text file (POST_THIS.TXT) that lists all of the irregular services.
  • Press Ctrl + A simultaneously to select all of the text.
  • Copy and paste the whole thing into your next post.
  • A copy of POST_THIS.TXT is saved to where ServiceFilter.vbs was saved just in case you accidentally close out of it.

Awaiting further instructions,
