Beck - Omega Search Problems

Unknown
edited April 2005 in Spyware & Virus Removal
I have just devoted my entire bank holiday monday to trying to fix my parents computer, but despite downloading the Beta Microsoft Spyware software, High Jack This and (following a thread on this site) Omega Killer, I cannot get rid of the Omega Search software (including the large blue box at the bottom of the screen, the search bar and the additions in my favourites folder). I have got to the stage at which I can remove these problems and run IE fine, but when i reboot the problems all start again.

Can someone please help?

    Hello. Welcome to short-media.

    Here's the important part; first open your task manager (by pushing ctrl-alt-delete and clicking "task manager") - then click the "processes" tab. Right click on ANY iexplore.exe processes and click "End Process Tree" (Say yes to the warning)

    When all IEXPLORE.EXE processes are killed, go to C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\ANDREW\APPLICATION SETTINGS\ and delete entirely the folder named STOPsomething - I can't tell the full name right now, but anything in there that starts with STOP FI, delete it.

    Then, open up HJT and remove:

    O23 - Service: ScsiAccess - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\System32\ScsiAccess.EXE


    After you remove those, reboot and post a new log.

    Thanks very much primesuspect, I have done as you said and all seems to be well.
    I was dubious about
    O23 - Service: ScsiAccess - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\System32\ScsiAccess.EXE
    myself, but had to make sure cos i had no idea what it was!

    Whilst i was deleting the file from C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\ANDREW\APPLICATION SETTINGS\STOP FILE RECT i found a number of other similar beasties in the aplications settings folder that have cropped up using Microsoft Anti Spyware and have deleted those too.

    Here is my current HJT list

    Your log looks fine now. You do have a lot of Downloaded Program Files showing, I recommend you to go into:

    C: -> Windows -> Downloaded Program Files, and delete everything in there. Anything you really need will be re-downloaded on demand when you visit the website that needs them.


    Please make sure to always do regular Windows Updates. If you do not have Automatic Updates active on your computer, then please click on www.windowsupdate.com, and follow the instructions. Always install all CRITICAL UPDATES.

    Short-Media recommends Firefox for a safer, faster internet browser.

    Please read our article on Defeating Spyware for tips on how to improve your Internet Explorer security, or to learn how to switch to a different browser. For more general information about spyware read this page.


    Please install some spyware protection. From our Security Downloads Page download and install Spyware Blaster, Spybot S&D and Spyware Shooter. All 3 contain protection measures to help protect you from spyware, especially useful if you choose to stay on Internet Explorer.

    Finally, if you have not already done so, please take the time to find out more about Folding For a Cure, a good cause by which your computer uses it's spare power to help search for cures to diseases. We would love to have you on our Team.

    Dexter...
