Software / hijack problems...
« on: April 20, 2004, 09:36:03 AM »
You may be infected with a variant of the CoolWebSearch.
Download CWShredder from the below link and unzip it into a directory. Start CWShredder and click on the FIx button to have it remove all CWS infections it finds.
Download CWShredder from:
http://www.merijn.org/files/cwshredder.zip
After you download the program, unzip it into a directory. Make sure all browser windows are closed and double click on the cwshredder.exe to start the program. When the program is loaded click on the "Check for Update" button, and if it finds an new version it will download it. You should then double click on cwshredder.exe again and click on the "FIX" button (not the "Scan only" button) and let it scan your computer.
To get the best results it is recommended that you run it in safe mode. Reboot windows and press F8 at boot/windows startup, usually right after the beep. Then select safe mode.
A tutorial that goes over this process step by step can be found here:

Software / IE doesnt work at all :(
« on: April 20, 2004, 09:28:41 AM »
There is a bunch of items that we will want to remove, but first follow these steps to clean it up a bit more.
First step is go into Add/Remove programs in your control panel and remove Messenger Plus. Messenger plus is known to install Lop.com which is a trojan and hijacker.
While you are in add/remove programs remove PowerStrip as well. Then run HijackThis and post a new log.

Software / no windows cd,need 2 install hardware
« on: April 20, 2004, 08:54:47 AM »
Windows 95 and 98 had some really horrible installation routines with their driver installations. Even if you have the files already installed on your computer it would ask for them again when installing a new piece of hardware or windows software component.
Many times, when I was doing consulting, I would run into the same situation you are. The way I would fix this, is to use the files that are already existing on your hard drive. If it is asking for a networking file, it is most likely stored in c:\windows\system. So if you do not have the cd, enter that path into the field where it is asking where you can find the files. It will then take the file that already exists and use that one. If it does not find the file in c:\windows\system, try c:\windows, or c:\windows\system32, or c:\windows\inf, or c:\windows\msgs
Trust me this method works
