Browser hijacked! Help!
 

Shit! My browsers been hijacked and my free version of PC Cleaner expired.... Anyone know a good free download to permanently fix this? RegVac did not work by the way..... :confused:

Knowing some browser hijackers, you may not able to download the fixes over the internet from the original site directly.. but, try this:

Post the log here, and we'll see what you have so I can see what tools to recommend. HijackThis shows ALL things within Explorer, both Windows and Internet Explorer, both good and bad. So... post the log here, unless you're comfortable with what you're preventing from starting up.

(Of course, this is in addition to the standard AdAware/SpyBot combo. Get them both, they each find things the other doesn't.)

Edit:
If these don't work, you're being blocked from getting them. Check your HOSTS file (it has no extension, it should be in C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc if you're on XP) and take out all entries except the "localhost" line.

Adaware SE: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/
SpyBot S&D: http://www.lavasoftusa.com

Yeah BlueCube summed it up. If The AA and Spybot combo aren't working you should try that first site and post it here.

I would suggest CWShredder, it owns all of mine.

Indeed, it owns the CoolWebSearch trojan/spyware.. but that's it..

Well that's what I get so it does it's job.

Yeah, it's the nastiest spyware that I can think of.. though ShopAtHome isn't too good either, since it likes to break Windows' LSP.. still, LSPFix takes care of that..

Well where do i get this CWshredder...adaware and spybot worked but problem still there after reboot...

So they didn't exactly work then huh

First your browser hijacked, now this thread!

Wooooo-wooooooo!!!

ALL ABOARD THE MANTRAIN!!

Okay.. how about that HijackThis log then..

http://www.softpedia.com/public/cat/...0-17-150.shtml for CWShredder, but it's only good if, in fact, you have CoolWebSearch...

Nothing is working...I have run adaware, spybot CWshredder, regvac, cleansweep, all windows available updates and more sigh.....I even have a router and I keep getting reinfected, This is REALLY pissing me off.

Hmm, I can only suggest computerproblems.org, they helped me with the CoolWebSearch thing(Yes, it is the most annoying fucking thing I've ever had on my computer. Ever.)

You... still haven't posted the HijackThis log. With that, I could possibly see what is on that computer of yours.

Also, here's another random cleanup tool because I have absolutely no idea what you may/may not have: (About:Buster)
