You've got a whole bunch of spyware here, including Coolwebsearch, the QHosts trojan, and a newer one called seek-seek. This will take a few steps to get rid of:
1) Download and run CWShredder from here: »www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/cwsc···les.html (Direct Download: »www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/file···dder.zip )
2) Download and run the QHosts removal tool from Symantec here: »securityresponse.symantec.com/av···ool.html (Direct Download: »www.symantec.com/avcenter/FixQhost.exe )
3) Go to the C:\Windows\Help directory and delete the file called "Hosts" there, then, as pieter arntz suggested above, copy and paste this into notepad, save as restorehostspath.reg, doubleclick it and confirm that you want to merge it with the registry:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters] "DataBasePath"=hex(2):25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,52,00,6f,00,6f,\ 00,74,00,25,00,5c,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,00,5c,00,\ 64,00,72,00,69,00,76,00,65,00,72,00,73,00,5c,00,65,00,74,00,63,00,00,00
4) Hit Ctrl-Alt-Del, highlight slmss.exe and hit "end Process". Do the same for mwsvm.exe
5) With all browswer windows closed, re-scan with Hijack This and put a check next to any of the items I listed above that still remain, then click "Fix Checked", Reboot and rescan with Hijack This and post your log again
6) Wait for someone to look over your log. Assuming it's clean, you can then delete the following:
C:\WINDOWS\mwsvm.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\slmss\slmss.exe (possibly the whole slmss directory) C:\WINDOWS\ieasst.dll -- Brain: Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering? Pinky: I think so, Brain, but "Snowball for Windows"? [text was edited by author 2003-11-03 14:21:41] | |
