Reminance of Netster toolbar.

So I caught a lovely computer STD last night and didn't realize it til this morning. :) Netster Toolbar was the most evident culprit; also an isntallation of a program purporting to be a spyware removal agent called 'Kill and Destroy' or something like that. Managed to get rid of both toolbar and 'spyware remover,' however, a hijacker seems to be lingering; when I search for anything on Google and click on a link, I'm redirected to a multitude of amusingly named websites instead of the actual result.

Ran Spybot and Adaware; both came up with goodies which I deleted. Re-ran and got clean bills of health. Ran Symantec to no avail; turned that off and ran PandaScan online as well as BitDefender. Clean bills. Made sure my Spyware Blaster was up-to-date. So... maybe you see something I'm not.

    Found a file called sphlp32.exe in system32 which I made Symantec remove - identified it as Livechat. Hopefully this was my culprit; not seeing anything else happening for the moment. Gonna leave this up in case you notice any stragglers I didn't catch.

    Thanks, guys. (And gals.)

    Hi Mollygizer.

    I think there's one very bad guy on your computer.

    Let's take a closer look:

    Please download FixWareout from one of these sites:
    http://downloads.subratam.org/Fixwareout.exe
    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/files/lonny/Fixwareout.exe
    • Save it to your desktop and run it. Click Next, then Install, make sure Run fixit is checked and click Finish.
    • The fix will begin; follow the prompts.
    • You will be asked to reboot your computer; please do so.
    • Your system may take longer than usual to load; this is normal.
    • Once the desktop loads, post the text that will open (report.txt) and a new Hijackthis log in the forum please.
