quick problem - (coolWWWsearch)

drummerboy678

I recently got rid of a lot of spyware on my computer, ran SB-SAD and AD-ware, and found nothing... Then about 2 days later, I found 4 problems in spybot..

CoolWWWSearch.WinRes
CoolWWWSearch.Leftovers
CoolWWWSearch.Mupdate
CoolWWWSearch.Toolband

I cant seem to get rid of these, through spybot at least.

My HJT log is clear... Any suggestions about where to find these files, that are showing up in spybot?

I searched in the forums, and ran CWshredder and spyware-shooter... Is this just a wierd thing in spybot, because the computer seems to be running ok.

Thanks

Try running spybot and CWShredder in safe mode. That may take care of your problem. Please post a new hijack this log when you are done. Please post your log in this thread.

Spybot still found them, couldn't remove them... CWshredder still couldn't find them...

Here is my log:

Is this:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\lsass.exe
something to worry about? I didn't think that was supposed to be there.

Thanks

SpywareShooter

lsass is legitimate. Do not delete it, or it may cause problems with your computer.

Your log looks clean now. Are you still having any problems?

drummerboy678

Ok... I thought I remembered hearing something about lsass, but I guess not.

My computer is actually running fine, but after ya'll got rid of a nasty virus for me, I hated to see 4 files every time I run spybot... Still just cant get rid of those. Everything is working ok though.

Thanks again!

To delete coolwwwsearch.leftovers
I have tried many programs Spy sweeper, Spybot, CWshredder. All of them were detecting it but none could delete it completly.
Forget HJT, it doesn work either.
I got it with this
A) Stop rundll32.exe
B) search for, more options, hidden files se.dll
C) delete it
Then, reboot and clena your system with Spysweeper for instance.
Leftovers never appeared again in my computer

It worked for med, so i hope it will work for yours.
Good luck
