Your system appears to have been hijacked.
When did you last check your system for malware using your preferred antivirus application making sure first that you are using an updated current set of viral reference signatures? This would be a good time to download yourself a copy of the free Ad-Aware 6.0 from Lavasoft (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/) and also SpyBot Search & Destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org/) and use them to check your system for other commercial parasites remembering that they are only as good as when you last updated their reference files. I also use a program called BHODemon (http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm that checks for unwanted Browser Help Objects and SpywareBlaster (http://www.wilderssecurity.net/spywareblaster.html) which can help prevent some parasites getting a grip on your PC. Then there is CWShredder (http://www.zerosrealm.com/downloads/CWShredder.zip or http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip) which is the best way of getting rid of the many forms of the CoolWebSearch hijacker details of which can be found at http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/cwschronicles.html and also http://www.pestpatrol.com/pestinfo/c/cws.asp.. Finally if you still continue to experience problems download a copy of HijackThis from (http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html). Create a folder called hijackthis on C: and copy the file you downloaded to that folder. Close as many applications as you can including all instances of Internet Explorer and then run hijackthis.exe and post back the log, provided that it isn't too long, to this thread, otherwise to the HijackThis Forum at http://forums.spywareinfo.com/ or alternatively http://forum.aumha.org/viewforum.php?f=30 and hopefully this will enable someone to identify the cause of your problem. --?

Please follow these steps in order to clean your computer of Malware which can include Viruses, Trojans, Worms, Spyware, Hijackers and Dialers. Step 1: Download Spybot and Adaware from the following locations and install them. You should run both programs and clean up what it finds. This is to gaurantee that you find the most malware you can installed on your computer. Before running the scans on both programs, it is mandatory that you update the programs. There are update options in each program when you run them. Spybot http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=download Ad-Aware http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/ If you would like to learn more about how to use these two programs with the proper settings you can read the tutorials below: AD-AWARE Tutorial http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/foru...howtutorial=48 SPYBOT SEARCH AND DESTROY Tutorial http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/foru...howtutorial=43 When you scan with both programs, fix everything that it finds. When you are done with the scan and fixing the items. Please continue with the next step. Step 2: It is important that you run Spybot and Adaware before you proceed with this step. Fixing enties with Hijackthis may leave behind unwanted files on your computer if the previous step was not done first. Create a directory on your hardrive to save HijackThis.exe. A directory like c:\hijackthis. If you do not do this, you will not be able to use the backup/restore features. Download HijackThis from: http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/hijackthis.zip Save this file into the directory you made previously and then run the program. Click on the Scan button and when it is finished click on the Save Log button. A Notepad window will open with the contents of this log. Click on Edit then click on Select all. Then click on Edit and then Click on Copy. Register an account at http://www.bleepingcomputer.com and post this created log into the Hijackthis Logs forum at that site. To do this, once you are registered, create a new post, right click in message area and select paste to paste the log into the post. An expert will reply to you after reading this post. DO NOT fix any entries unless you are absolutely sure you know what you are doing as you may cause more damage to the system To see a tutorial on using HijackThis you can click on the link below. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/foru...howtutorial=42 -- Lawrence Abrams http://www.bleepingcomputer.com Source for Original Content, Tutorials, and Support for the beginning computer user. |
