help with persistent blue bar

Unknown · February 2005

Thanks Buckeye_Sam. I have rerun both adware and spybot S&D and down below is a new HijackThis log.

When I ran S&D, it identified three problems:

coolwwwsearch.toolband
coolwwwsearch.leftovers
coolwwwsearch.Mupdate

but these problems could not be fixed by S&D, even when I let S&D run on startup.

Please download CWShredder but don't run it yet.
http://cwshredder.net/bin/CWSInstall.exe

Download Ad-aware SE from: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download506.html

Install the program and launch it. First, in the main window, look in the bottom right corner and click on Check for updates now and download the latest reference files. Exit Adaware for now.

Make sure that you can view all hidden files. Instructions on how to do this can be found here:

How to see hidden files in Windows

Run Hijackthis again, click scan, and Put a checkmark next to each of these. Then close all other windows--you should only see HijackThis on your Desktop--and click the Fix Checked button.

Reboot your computer into Safe Mode

Now run CWShredder, making sure to click "Fix".

Then delete this file

C:\DOCUME~1\Cluett\APPLIC~1\DOESNO~1\Up extra 16.exe

Run a full scan with Adaware.

Reboot your computer to go back to normal mode and post a new log.

Will Cluett · February 2005

Thank you for your quick response. I will work away on this by following your instructions closely and then post a new log.

Will Cluett · February 2005

Thanks again Buckeye_Sam.

I have followed your instructions and have posted a new log file is below.

Just a few comments:

1. The first R1 item you asked me to fix did not have the exactly same letters after "Search Bar = http://www." However, I fixed it anyways.

2. After running CWS, you told me to delete a file "C:\DOCUME~..." but I did not know where to find this file and therefore I did not delete it.

3. Finally, I made the changes required to see hidden files in Windows. Do I eventually reset these back to what they were?

Here is my new log file:

Dear Buckeye_Sam:
Just a quick update. Now, when I just opened my Explorer browser to go to the ShortMedia site, my home page has been completely hijacked by Search the Web!
Sincerely,
Will Cluett

Buckeye_Sam · February 2005

Download this tool, close all windows and browsers, and run it.

Reboot and post a new hijackthis log.

Do you still have the blue toolbar?

Please make sure that you can view all hidden files. Instructions on how to do this can be found here:

Dear Buckeye_Sam:
Things seemed fine for a while today, but now the blue bar is back, Search the Web has hijacked my home page, and all those annoying favorites are back.

I have followed your suggestions. I did not find the two files you suggested I delete.

Download and install Messenger Plus.

http://www.msgplus.net/download.php

Reboot your computer.

Now uninstall Messenger Plus and reboot again. Let me know if the blue bar is still there.

jaybee · February 2005

Try downloading and running program called OmegaKiller. I had this problem last year and found this the best way to combat it.

Thanks Buckeye_Sam. I did what you suggested here and everything was fine (no blue bar) for several days. However, today, the blue bar has returned. Do you want me to post a new log?

Sincerely,
Will Cluett

Yes, please post a new hijackthis log.
