Hi, I'm new. I've recently discovered that I have coolWWWsearch.leftovers, Naupoint and WebRebates/ TopRebates on my computer. Spybot S&D fixes them and then they come back, Ad-aware does the same. Here's my log of HiJack this..please can anyone help me..Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi sammii,

You are using an old version of HijackThis.

Could you get yourself the latest (1.99) and post a new log please?

Check the following items in HijackThis.
Close all windows except HijackThis and click Fix checked:

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {44FD0AF8-9D30-4E96-8ECE-306446B5E0D3} - (no file)

O16 - DPF: Win32 Classes -

O16 - DPF: {B9191F79-5613-4C76-AA2A-398534BB8999} -

Then reboot. Make sure to allow the cahnges in TeaTimer.

It looks as if your Downloaded Program Files Folder maybe corrupt.

Can you see if you can spot any file in here (apart from Housecall):
C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files

Regards,

Pieter

[sammii]

Thank you Pieter. I've just done what you said, and I looked in the downloaded program files folder and all I could find was AcceptLang Class, MSSecurityAdvisor Class, Office Update Installation Engine and YInstStarter Class. Thanks.

[Metallica]

Then HijackThis is not showing them properly.

Can you rerun AdAware now and see if it can remove the problems permanently?

Regards,

Pieter

[sammii]

It didn't. I re-ran it and it deleted them and then I reboot the computer and ran it again..and they all came back up.

[Metallica]

Can you post the AdAware log please?

I know it's long but it may tell us some more.

Regards,

Pieter

[sammii]

Sure..here's the log:

Hmm. The first one is one we deleted as well with HijackThis.
The second one is from another user-account then yours.
The third one we fixed with HijackThis as well.

They are all unrelated, so I can't imagine any malware putting it back.

Do you have anything that backs up your registry or parts of it?

Regards,

Pieter

[sammii]

No I don't. Is it best to get something..if so what? Thank you for all this.

[Metallica]

I want to try something:
Please surf to http://www.billsway.com/vbspage/ and scroll down to
Registry Search Tool
Download, unzip and run RegSrch.vbs
Put {44fd0af8-9d30-4e96-8ece-306446b5e0d3} in the dialog box.

After a while a prompt will come up. Click OK to write the results to wordpad and post them.

Regards,

Pieter

[sammii]

Okay here are the results:

Do you have SpywareBlaster installed?
http://www.javacools...areblaster.html

If not, do that now.

If you do, I unravelled part of the mistery.

[sammii]

Yes I do, I downloaded it today.
