Omega Search [Cragger] , can't exterminate

Unknown

Somehow I got omega search installed and I can't get ride of it I've used Ad-Aware, Spybot and CW Shredder as well as followed the short media article on how to remove it. The problem is I can't find a O4 .exe line so the program reapplies itself on each boot. Anyway here is the Hijack This log.

Did you run HJT while in safe mode? That might be why the EXE didn't come up.

Also, some of these things will show up in advanced od in-depth scan mode. In start menu, try the first instructions here as to how to tune it to have it deep scan registry.... the part about optimizing it. There IS a registry entry that can vary that runs this, kill teh reg entry and possibly teh archive and it will be killed....

This mode is very valuable in running offline, it will scan registry and highlight things by putting them in the log and if it knows them you will not need to have them running for HJT to see them as registry entries this way. This scan will take longer, but is well worth doing for recurring processes which appear to self-heal. Also note the bit about Spybot S&D running, please, though you might not need Betas of that anymore-- the beta needed info is old. The updating part should be done with box online, the scan can be done with box off the web.
