    Can you please do the following.

    ===============

    Go to Add/Remove programs and remove(uninstall) the following, if present:

    MyWebSearch

    The above could appear anywhere within the entry. Be careful not to remove any personal or system software.

    ===============

    Run HiJackThis then:

    1. Click "Open the Misc Tools Section"
    2. Click "Open Process manager"

    -

    Next, while holding down the CTRL key, locate (if present) and click on (highlight) each of the following:

    C:\PROGRAM FILES\MYWEBSEARCH\BAR\1.BIN\MWSOEMON.EXE

    Now double-check and make sure that only those item(s) above are highlighted, then click "Kill process". Now, click "Refresh", check again, and repeat this step if any remain.

    ===============

    Scan with HiJackThis, then check(tick) the following, if present:


    R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://red.clientapps.yahoo.com/cust...ch/search.html
    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchURL,(Default) = http://red.clientapps.yahoo.com/cust.../www.yahoo.com

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [requester] "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\requester.11.exe"
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [MyWebSearch Email Plugin] C:\PROGRA~1\MYWEBS~1\BAR\1.BIN\MWSOEMON.EXE

    Now, close all instances of Internet Explorer and any other windows you have open except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".

    ===============

    Locate and delete the following item(s), if present. Make sure you are able to view system and hidden files/ folders:

    folders...

    C:\PROGRAM FILES\MYWEBSEARCH
    C:\PROGRA~1\SB

    files...

    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\requester.11.exe

    -

    Note that some of these file(s)/folder(s) may or may not be present. If present, and cannot be deleted because they're 'in use', try deleting them in "Safe Mode".

    -

    Reboot.

    ===============

    To help protect your system from hostile ActiveX content, or special 'downloadable' files:

    Download, install and keep updated, SpywareBlaster. If you've installed it for the first time:

    1) Check for any available updates; if present, they'll be automatically downloaded and installed.
    2) Next, "Enable all protection".
    3) Exit the program.

    -

    Note: Remember to regularly check for updates.

    ===============

    After rebooting, rescan with hijackthis and post back a new log. Please let me know how your pc is now.

    Hi Crunchie,

    Thanks for the advice, I have done all you have said and the new Hjt log is pasted below.

    I have two more issues that i did not mention on the 1st posting.

    1. I have got a virus called BAKDOOR-COB.dr This is detected by my McAfee and the McAfee program is unable to clean it or remove it. An alert come on (not all the time but intermittently) when i open the IE or yahoo messenger. I cant clean or delete the file detected (The file detected is in the windows temp directory named SBRU 20006010511239, and the numbers on the file name change each time it is found and displayed on the alert box)

    Is there any tool that can clean this one? Please advise.

    2. I always have a thing called PTSNOOP running in the background. I read somewhere that this is due a particular type of a modem driver. Is this harmful and if it is there a way of getting rid of it.

    Thanks

    Karuna

    1. I have got a virus called BAKDOOR-COB.dr This is detected by my McAfee and the McAfee program is unable to clean it or remove it. An alert come on (not all the time but intermittently) when i open the IE or yahoo messenger. I cant clean or delete the file detected (The file detected is in the windows temp directory named SBRU 20006010511239, and the numbers on the file name change each time it is found and displayed on the alert box)

    Is there any tool that can clean this one? Please advise.
    Download CCleaner and install, then run it.
    1. Uncheck "Cookies" under "Internet Explorer".
    2. Click on Run Cleaner in the lower right-hand corner. This can take quite a while to run.
    3. Close when finished.
    2. I always have a thing called PTSNOOP running in the background. I read somewhere that this is due a particular type of a modem driver. Is this harmful and if it is there a way of getting rid of it.
    Not harmful :).

    Can you please do the following.

    ===============

    Scan with HiJackThis, then check(tick) the following, if present:


    O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\VxD\MSTCP: Domain = geosatbotswana
    O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\VxD\MSTCP: NameServer = 194.247.160.1,213.92.5.55
    ...(Verify that these ip addresses are for your isp's DNS Servers, if so, don't 'fix' these.)


    Now, close all instances of Internet Explorer and any other windows you have open except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".

    ===============

    After rebooting, rescan with hijackthis and post back a new log. Please let me know how your pc is now.

    Hi Crunchie,

    Thanks, I have downloaded and installed the CCleaner and run it.

    The Geosatbotswana is my internet provider so those entries are fine.

    I havent seen that BACKDOOR-COB.dr warning so far.

    Please see the latest Hjt Log.

    Congratulations! Your log looks clean - good work!

    ===============

    Now that your PC is clean you need to follow these easy steps to keeping it this way:

    Secure your Internet Explorer by going here and following the instructions there.

    Better yet, use an alternative browser! Download FireFox and give it a run. It is far more secure than Internet Explorer. Or, you can get Opera which in my opinion, is better still.

    Use a firewall to help prevent your PC's control being usurped by undesireables. There is a link to a good, free firewall in my signature.

    Install and keep updated, Ewido anti-malware, Ad-Aware SE and Spybot S&D.
    Run them both on a regular basis, following the manufacturer's recommendations.

    Install an anti-virus. There are some good, free AV's available today. Make sure that it is updated regularly and have it scan your system often.

    Check for Windows Updates. Microsoft regularly post updates for your systems safe running. Make sure to take advantage of this. Reboot when installed and return to make sure there are no others.


    Clear your Temp folders.
    Clear out your Temporary internet files and other temp files.
    Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel >Internet Options.
    Under the General tab click the Delete temporary internet files,
    delete all Offline content as well. Clear out Cookies.

    Also, go to Start > Find/search > Files or folders > in the named box, type: *.tmp and choose Edit > select all -> File > delete.

    Empty/delete the entire contents of the C:\Windows\temp folder and C:\temp folder, if you have one. (Contents but not the folder itself.)

    C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp\

    In order to view these files you may have to select 'show hidden files/folders.' Instructions on how to here.

    Empty the Recycle Bin.

    For XP users.
    After something like this it is a good idea to Flush the Restore Points and start fresh.
    To flush the XP system Restore Points.

    Go to Start>Run and type msconfig. Press enter.

    When msconfig opens, click the Launch System Restore Button.
    On the next page, click the System Restore Settings link on the left.

    Check the box labelled 'Turn off System restore'.

    Reboot. Go back in and Turn System Restore Back on. A new Restore Point will be created.

    Note that all previous restore points will be lost.

    ===============

    If you have any more problems, post back.

    -

    Happy surfing,

    crunchie.
