« on: May 15, 2005, 08:45:06 AM »
Hi, sorry for not registering before.  i bady need help with an unusual CWS that keeps coming back!  everytime i run Spysweeper, it is piucking upo on the same infected file.  no matter how many times i delete the CWS spage.html hijack file, its there again the next time i scan.  ive tried spybot, spysweeper, adaware, Spyware doctor, nothing seems to work.  also, deleting files like RUNdll 32.exe from hijack this doesnt work, as they just keep reappearing.  I dont know waht to do!

As requested, here is the hijack this log and Export2 log from Get2

Help with unusual CWS problem
« Reply #1 on: May 15, 2005, 12:23:59 PM »
Can you do the following please
==Download and Install this small program
to help clean your temp folders,cookies, etc...
Windows Cleanup
Give the link time to load or try it twice, it may be busy
We'll need this later

====Download and save to Desktop
SpSeHjfix112.zip

Unzip the contents, so you now have SpSeHjfix112.exe on your desktop

Please Print this out or save these instructions to a Notepad file and save it to your Desktop
RESTART your Computer in SAFE MODE
You can do this by tapping the F8 key as the system is restarting, after the single post beep, or use the link
I supplied for a more detailed explanation

==Open Windows CleanUp!>>START>>programs>>Cleanup!
Click on the CleanUp button, let it finish scanning for files, when it's done
Decline to Log off or Restart the computer

Do another scan with Hijackthis and put a check next to these entries:

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = res://C:\DOCUME~1\User\LOCALS~1\Temp\se.dll/spage.html
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = about:blank
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Search_URL = http://uk.red.clientapps.yahoo.com/customi...www.yahoo.co.uk
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = about:blank
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page =
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = about:blank
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = about:blank
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchURL,(Default) = http://uk.red.clientapps.yahoo.com/customi...www.yahoo.co.uk
R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page = C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\blank.htm
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page = C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\blank.htm


After you have ticked the above entries, close All other open windows,
Leave Hijackthis open and click FIX CHECKED
OK the prompt and exit Hijackthis


==Run SpSeHjfix112.exe by clicking the Start Disinfection
It should reboot your computer
If not Reboot anyways back to Normal mode

Back in Windows
IF prompted by SpySweeper or SpywareDoctor of any changes
ALLOW them so they won't interfere with any fixes that we are trying to do
Access Internet Options via Control Panel
Under the Programs tab "Reset Web Settings"
Under the General tab---Reset home page

Run another scan with Hijackthis and post a fresh log
Could you also post the log from SpSeHjfix112.exe
