Unknown

Hi,

Here is my log file. Thanks for evey help I get.

I always deleted the first entry but it always comes back!!!

Updated Removal Instructions here: http://www.short-media.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12173

Try that and post back to let us know.

Hah! Looks like you have a new variant. Delete these buggers:

C:\PROGRA~1\Style clock jugs\copy peak.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [one face] C:\PROGRA~1\Style clock jugs\copy peak.exe

I am noticing the word "Jugs" in various files on many of these Omegasearch HJT logs. It must be a keyword in a random file naming system.

And of course, remove:

R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://omegasearch.com/passthrough/.../www.google.de/

Try that and let us know. Post back later to let us know, then also post a new HJT log, as there a few items we can help you clean to tune things up a little

Dexter...

Shawn Shaker

ok, thanks a lot
I will try it right now and let you know if it works

Straight_Man

Also, try looking here:

http://www.computercops.biz/postt23654.html

"best-offer-for-you.ws" entries need to be pulled also. In this case, run HijackThis's Internet options to see if you have any, and pull any entries in above thread link that Pieter says to pull-- he IS a Microsoft Most Valuable Player for Microsoft Security.

Essentially, the things he lists in the Internet area are websites that will refeed what you are fighting when you go online after killing this set of things. This kind of thing is one reason I use Sun Java based browsers.

Also run SpyBot S&D, updated to latest defs. It can pull part of this crap and other things.

Thanks Dexter!!!!

Seems like Omegasearch is gone now. I deleted the Folder you told me about! And then it finally seems to be gone! :bigggrin: You made my day!

Glad to hear it

And yes, there are several things you can do to prevent stuff like this.

First, read
this article on fighting spyware by Short-Media's PrimeSuspect. Pay attention to the section titled "An Ounce Of Prevention." There are tips on how to change your browser security settings to prevent "drive-by" hijakcings.

Then, be very very careful about what you download and where you download it from. The types of programs I described in my article are notorious for malware.

If you use Kazaa, or any other P2P app, again, be very cautious about what you download. Double-check that files' extensions are what they should be, not an MP3 that is actually named "xxx/MP3.EXE."

Spybot Search and Destroy v 1.2 has preventative software for known malware, similar to anti-vius prevention. I would imagine they will have Omegasearch in their database pretty soon, and will be keeping up to date with new items. You may want to give it a try, you can get it here: http://download.com.com/3000-8022-10194058.html?tag=lst-0-1

Thanks again for your help and all the information

I will read it carefully.

Is there anything else I could clean up in my log file???

I would add SpywareBlaster to my preventative maintenance list. While Spybot is a great product, even *it* recommends you use SpywareBlaster. Spybot's immunization feature covers roughly 500 items, SpywareBlaster covers over 2800.
