Thanks in advance for your help.
My laptop can no longer access the Internet due to "Home Search Assistent"[sic].

Hello rick3foxes,
Please could you Download About:Buster from either of the following locations.

http://www.atribune.org/downloads/AboutBuster.zip
or
http://tools.zerosrealm.com/AboutBuster.zip

Make sure you close ALL Internet Explorer windows. This is a very important step!!

Run AboutBuster.exe, click ok, then start, then OK. This will scan your computer for the files responsible for hijacking your home and/or search settings/page.

Reboot and post a new HijackThis log along with the report from About:Buster.

Thanks, Owen.
BTW, I also notice that the laptop no longer has NOTEPAD.exe, and MS Office programs are requesting that certain modules be installed...

It seems that this spyware may have done more than hijack my browser...

Rick.

Click Fix Checked

Then could you Download (or use the copy you have if you kept it) about:Buster from either of the following locations.

http://www.atribune.org/downloads/AboutBuster.zip
or
http://tools.zerosrealm.com/AboutBuster.zip

Make sure you close ALL Internet Explorer windows. This is a very important step!!

Run AboutBuster.exe, click ok, then start, then OK. This will scan your computer for the files responsible for hijacking your home and/or search settings/page.

Reboot and post a new HijackThis log along with the report from about:Buster.

Sorry Owen, I think you have your CWS trojans mixed up...


rick3foxes, please follow thes instructions:


Click Here or Here to download FindnFix.exe. Double-click on the FINDnFIX.exe and it will install a folder called FINDnFIX on your system. Go to that folder and double-click on !LOG!.bat. The program takes a few minutes to collect the necessary information. When done post the contents of Log.txt back here.

Hmm... Is there a disagreement about my next step?
Should I continue on Owen's instructions?
Just in case, here is the log from !log!.bat

Thanks again,
Rick.

Sorry about that rick, so many CWS variants get confusing, I got a bit mixed up

Final steps:

-Open the FINDnFIX\Files2< Subfolder:
Run the -> "ZIPZAP.bat" file.
It will quickly clean the rest and
will make a copy of the bad file(s) in the same
folder (junkxxx.zip) and open your email client with instructions:
Simply drag and drop the 'junkxxx.zip' file from
the folder into the mail message and submit
to the specified addresses! Thanks!

When done, restart your computer and
Delete the entire 'FINDnFIX' file+folder(s)
From C:\, and be sure the C:\junkxxx folder
was deleted (as part of the cleanup process)


Now run CWShredder
Click Fix, don't just scan. Let it fix everything it asks about.

Next run Ad-Aware
After installing Ad-Aware, and before running the program, first press “check for updates now".
Click "Connect" and install all updated components available. Click 'Finish'.
Press "Scan Now", then 'next', and let Ad-Aware scan your drives.
It will find a number of "bad" files and registry keys. Click 'Next' again.
Check all found items, and click 'next' once more.
It will ask you whether you'd like to remove all checked items. Click OK.

Reboot, then post follow up hijackthis log when done!
