Hi Tone,
The first thing you need to do, is to place Hijack This in it’s own folder (e.g. C:\HJT\….) so it can generate backup files to the same folder; needed should an entry be accidentally deleted.
You’ve been hijacked by CoolWebSearch. Please go
here and download, unzip and then open CoolWebShredder. Then click on the
Updates button and follow the prompts. Next, run the program by clicking on the
Fix-> button.
CWS installs via the byte verifier exploit in M$ JavaVM so just surfing a page with an infected applet can install it with no user participation. So once you’ve run the above, it is vital that you go
here, click
Scan for updates in the main frame, and download and install
all CRITICAL updates recommended.
Then please run a new HJT! Scan, and check to fix the following entries, being sure to double check that you haven't missed any. (After running Shredder, you will probably find that some entries have already been fixed) Next, close
all browser windows and click the
Fix checked button…
