over the past 2 weeks i've tried to get rid of coolwebsearch hijacker. in this time i've collected several others, and i even have spywareguard runnin. I've tried so many things. i've installed adaware, spywaeguard, spybot, regcleaner, hijackthis. also, i've installed spywareblaster but it wont run. it says a bad drive sector or a viurs is the cause.
here's a list of problems:
coolwebsearch (ie: CWS About Blank / SearchX) keeps appearing in adaware (as well as regcleaner and hijackthis), i've deleted it a dozen times, even in safe mode. i'm very familiar with this one because i spend 24 hours straight trying to kill it. no luck, even though i did find the offending dll file. i tried the cwshredder method i found in another forum. i can paste that here if anyone needs it. those forum helpers don't think that DSO Exploit or searchportal.info are related to About:Blank / SearchX.
DSO Exploit keeps re-appearing in spybot search.
searchportal.info keeps appearing. my home page is currently being changed to
http://searchportal.info/clickspring keeps coming back too.
odbc thing keeps coming back. i see the little dos window at startup. but this popup has stopped so it might be gone.
also i have casinopalazzo/dialer as well. i got rid of this one a few days ago but now it's back. i dont get it, so much for spywareguard.
TIA for the help
peace
