307071 2004-12-24 00:04:00 Hi guys. I reakon I've got a virus/spyware, or both.

Here's why. I installed MSN messenger plus, then discoveredthere were tons of icons sprawled all over the desktop. Smelling a rat, I ran Ad-Aware & Spybot. It came up with CoolWWWsearch. But since then, I've found some other problems.

For 1 I keep getting "Mail Failed" messages from <Mailer-Daemon>@clear.net.nz. I've been told to ignore these, but when I find "Spam start internet love.exe", i'm not so sure. Plus Outpost firewall keeps saying "4 trust.exe" wants internet access. For some reason, I can't get any website by typing in it's URL (accessing PF1 via IP), so I can't even find what these do.

So can someone tell me what these do? Spybot, Ad-Aware & Norton don't pick up anything, but I'm not sure. Thanks, Edward :)

(C:\Documents & Settings\Games_2\Application Data\ROADAXIS\)
4 trust.exe

(C:\Documents & Settings\Games_2\Application Data\Face bird okay\)
Drv Chick Thunk.exe
fadrfgefm.exe
NURBMEOW.exe
skip bend coal scr.exe
spam start internet love.exe

So you can see why I'm suspicious. I'm not naive to run them to see what they do :badpc:

307073 2004-12-24 00:38:00 Download and run HijackThis - this can be downloaded from here using this URL 209.133.47.12 Also have a read of the userguide 216.213.19.27

Hopefully you will be able to access those sites. Post your log back here if you need further help with it.

307074 2004-12-24 00:44:00 You do have a great dose of hijackers.
First, run Ccleaner, http://www.ccleaner.com/
Then CWShredder, www.majorgeeks.com
Then Hijackthis, www.spychecker.com

Then re-run Ad-aware and Spybot S&D

Even though you may pick up those unknown files, CoolWeb hides, and will just produce more. It depends on what variation you have as to how damned difficult it is to eliminate.

307075 2004-12-24 03:59:00 Hey Edward, it might pay to uninstall Messenger Plus and reinstall it. This time don't accept the sponsor stuff. It does continue loading up then without any spyware. I've used it for ages with no probs, doing it like that. Catweazle (2535)
307076 2004-12-24 04:55:00 crap! msconfig reveals "acid1.exe" and nurbmeow.exe" are running at startup :eek:

anyway, here's the hijackthis log [Glad CCleaner didn't dispose of it]

307077 2004-12-24 09:08:00 Any luck with your problem yet? I am unfamiliar with working through a hijackthis log, but you can use this site as a reference - HijackThis Tutorial - How to use HijackThis to remove Browser Hijackers & Spyware (216.213.19.27).

Someone might come along shortly and provide more guidance with your log. :)
Jen (38)
307078 2004-12-24 09:25:00 Did you actually do what Pheonix suggested about running updated versions of Adaware, Spybot, CWShredder, etc? If you have not then do so and post a fresh log, but close down all your running apps first as it is just too much to wade through otherwise.

It is not a good idea to post your HijackThis log like you have done as it makes it very difficult to read. It is a hassle copying and pasting it into Notepad so it would have been helpful if you could just copy and paste the log straight onto the forum.

From a very quick glance you can get HijackThis to fix the following:

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = www.xopqcbrjhqcelyliayclmcmr.com _/hUmyAQFu_w5E.html

O3 - Toolbar: QuickSearch Search Bar - {82315A18-6CFB-44a7-BDFD-90E36537C252} - C:\Program Files\QuickSearch\QuickSearchBar1_27.dll

There are others I am not sure about but do the suggestions above first and post another log.

A2 (a squared)
Stinger

reboot in safe mode run each of the downloaded programs
then run your fav' spyware killing proggy

Reason for safe mode the os (xp in your case I think) will not let anything alter/delete a exe if it has a process running and safe mode prevents this type of exe from starting therefore having no dependant processes (go get the little beastie )

Good Luck and have Merry Xmas :thumbs:
