Hello.
I think my laptop (running windows XP) has been infected with the coolwebsearch malware. A bar appears at the top of the screen saying "Warning! Your computer is infected! Press here for help". A windows warning bubble continually appears on the toolbar, saying 'Your computer is infected' and offering protection from spyware if I click on it. Ad-aware found the coolwebsearch malware but couldn't remove it, so I ran CWShredder (version 2.19 from the trendmicro website). After this, ad-aware could no longer detect CWS and my homepage stopped being altered but the bar at the top of screen and warning bubble remain. This is when I came across this website - so I have run spybot and ad-aware again and here is my hijackthis log:

I really hope someone can help me with this! Thanks in advance.

Please read these instructions carefully and print them out (or copy to a file on your DESKTOP)! Be sure to follow ALL instructions!

Download smitRem.exe and save the file to your desktop.

Alternate SITE: smitRem.exe

Double click on the file to extract it to it's own folder on the desktop.



Download and run the freeware system optimization and privacy tool:
CCleaner (Crap Cleaner)
http://www.ccleaner.com/ccdownload.asp

It removes unnecessary junk from your computer allowing it to run more efficiently and securely.

You may get more optimal cleaning if you run it in SAFEMODE – while rebooting and at the beep keep tapping the F8 key.

Once installed, you will notice an Online Help link at the bottom left. Updates checking link is provided at the bottom right. When first run in its DEFAULT opening setup – Cleaner button (Windows TAB is selected) , click the ‘Analyse’ button. Thereafter, click ‘Run Cleaner’ after you have reviewed what it proposes to clean.




Place a shortcut to Panda ActiveScan on your desktop ((drag the text link to your desktop)).



Please download the trial version of Ewido Security Suite here:
http://www.ewido.net/en/download/

Please read Ewido Setup Instructions
Install it, and update the definitions to the newest files. Do NOT run a scan yet.


If you have not already installed Ad-Aware SE 1.06, follow these download and setup instructions, otherwise, check for updates:
Ad-Aware SE Setup. Don't run it yet!



Next, please reboot your computer in SafeMode by doing the following:

1. Restart your computer
2. After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
3. Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
4. Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.

SELECT HijackThis FIX ITEMS: Scan with HijackThis and place a check next to these items:
-----
O3 - Toolbar: Adobe PDF - {47833539-D0C5-4125-9FA8-0819E2EAAC93} - C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 6.0\Acrobat\AcroIEFavClient.dll (file missing)
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [30.tmp] C:\DOCUME~1\jwarner\LOCALS~1\TEMP\30.tmp.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [30.tmp.exe] C:\DOCUME~1\jwarner\LOCALS~1\TEMP\30.tmp.exe
-----
Make sure that all browser windows and internet links are closed, even this one!
CLICK ’FIX CHECKED’ with HijackThis.



Open the smitRem folder, then double click the RunThis.bat file to start the tool. Follow the prompts on screen.
Wait for the tool to complete and disk cleanup to finish.

The tool will create a log named smitfiles.txt in the root of your drive, eg; Local Disk C: or partition where your operating system is installed. Please post that log along with all others requested (below) in your next reply.


Open Ad-aware and do a full scan. Remove all it finds.


Run Ewido:

• Click on scanner
• Click on Complete System Scan and the scan will begin.
• NOTE: During some scans with ewido it is finding cases of false positives.
• You will need to step through the process of cleaning files one-by-one.
• If ewido detects a file you KNOW to be legitimate, select none as the action.
• DO NOT select "Perform action on all infections"
• If you are unsure of any entry found select none for now.
• When the scan is finished, click the Save report button at the bottom of the screen.
• Save the report to your desktop

Close Ewido


Next go to Control Panel click Display > Desktop > Customize Desktop > Website > Uncheck "Security Info" if present.

Reboot back into Windows and click the Panda ActiveScan shortcut, then do a full system scan.
Save the Panda scan log and post it along with a new HijackThis Log, the contents of the smitfiles.txt log and the Ewido Log.

Hi. Many thanks for your quick reply. Please find the log reports below

Am i all clear now?
Many thanks again!

I see that you are running SpyFighter. This is considered a rogue program (Click here to see the rogue/suspect anti-spyware list) . It is recommended that you uninstall it.

Go to Add/Remove programs (Control Panel) and try to remove it there. Alternately, look for an:

UNINSTALLER: Locate and try right-clicking on any of the given SEARCH FOLDER items below and further search (tick include subdirectories) for the following exact text:

UN*.EXE, *UN*.EXE

This may reveal an uninstaller with label terms such as '...uninstall...EXE', ‘unins000’, or 'unwise.EXE'. Double-click that EXE, if one is found. Thereafter, check to ensure that the folder is completely gone. Otherwise, consider deleting the folder in question.

-----> C:\Program Files\SpyFighter



HIDDEN FILES: To make sure you can see any and all hidden files, please follow the directions here

Scan unknown files for viruses/malware
Please go to this website and submit the following files (copy and paste each full file PATH) for possible Viruses/Trojans detection analysis and immediate feedback:
http://virusscan.jotti.org/

Submit these files (or use Start>Search to locate FULL File Path):

C:\WINDOWS\system32\atlxc32.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\syskb32.exe

Let us know what the results were for the file(s).



Post a revised HJT log and test us how your PC is now bwhaving.

Hi,

I have now deleted spy fighter from my programme files. I have since run the ad-aware and my system appears to be clean,

Is there anything else i need to do?

Once again, I really appreciate your help.

Joe

What about the two (2) unknown files referred to in my last post to you? They could just be unwelcome overhead or worse. You should check them out.


A clean HJT log and one particular clean scan is not a guarantee that everything is fine on your PC.


Your own observations are also important. As is taking care of any loose ends, above.

I have tried to check out both those unknown files but start>search finds no results and http://virusscan.jotti.org/ says both files are 0btyes in size and may be prevented from being uploaded due to firewall or malware.

What should i try next?
Also, on a side note, one of my USB no longer works, neither does my scroll clicker in between the internal left and right mouse buttons. is this a likely consequence of the virus?

Joe
