Need help with stubborn malware please.

edited October 2004 in Spyware & Virus Removal
Hello all. I'm pretty experienced with computers and I actually work at a computer repair shop. Though as of late, i've somehow gotten some pretty annoying malware installed. I've ran both Ad-aware 6 Professional and Spybot 1.3 but they have been unable to get rid of them. I tried removing the entry that was listed in hijack this but it still remains and I'm at wits end. I've tried running toolbar cop and disabled the .bho. Nothing. Any help on this would be appreciated. I suppose it's sort of ironic how I fix malware infected systems daily, yet when I get some installed on mine I can't seem to fix it :p Thanks for your help and time all :D

    If you have disabled some items, you will need to re-enable them, reboot, then post a new hijackthis log so that they are visible & we know what to remove.
    It looks to me like a LOP hijack so, click Start>Settings>Control Panel>Add or Remove Programs and uninstall 'Window Search', 'Window Searching', 'Lop.com', 'LOP SEARCH', 'Browser Enhancer', or 'Ultimate Browser Enhancer' if listed. You may be given a code to insert, do so and reboot when done. If not listed there, run this uninstaller:
    http://members.rogers.com/rjmac/new_uninstall.exe

    If you installed messenger plus with the 3rd party sponsor you need to uninstall it then reinstall it without it. It comes with LOP.

    Thanks for replying Justlooking. Checking my add/remove list was one of the first things I did. Nothing in there that's out of the normal sadly. I re-enabled some the .bho and ran hijackthis, so here's the log.

    Oh jeez. Alright I got rid of it now. Turns out that you were right about it being messenger plus!'s installer of the malware *shakes fist at his idiot co-worker who suggested it to him*. Luckily they had a forum that tells how to uninstall the stuff. So now it's clean from my system, though if you take a look at the top of my last hijackthis log the entry that reads "R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://www.osihjpjokqaxfdfptqbpykd....D/uB8oJkrC.html" is still there. Perhaps this is some remains of it? I feel kinda bad spamming this thread but i'd like to make sure that my system is clean of that thing once and for all. I appreciate your helping me on this :D

    You are right about the R1 being a part of the LOP infection.

    Have hijackthis fix the following, making certain that all Internet Explorer windows are closed,

    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://www.osihjpjokqaxfdfptqbpykd....D/uB8oJkrC.html

    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [platform inter] C:\DOCUME~1\DANTES~1\APPLIC~1\WEBREG~1\nurbgreypok e.exe

    Reboot then delete the C:\DOCUME~1\DANTES~1\APPLIC~1\WEBREG~1< folder.
    You will need to show all hidden files\folders.
    If they will not delete, try again in safe mode.
