If you wait to remove your infection, it will probably morph and it may be more difficult to deal with. The removal instructions are safe. AboutBuster has a fairly good success rate, but this is a difficult infection to remove!
Firefox is a great browser. You won't regret giving it a try. Tom

A message to StartUpMan and Chief Wigs: Thanks for enlightening me about Firefox. I apologize for having doubts about installing a new browser and will soon be using Firefox,I'm sure! I think I was kinda paranoid about suggestions to download something new when I'd just been severely violated by CoolWebSearch! I have heard nothing but positives about Firefox from everyone ,including my engineer son! He has it on his pc and uses both browsers! I now realize I was wrong in my estimation of an unknown browser!
Now for Tom MyBoy! Tom,I always follow your advice. I'm gonna try to have my engineer son walk me through the procedure on speakerphone. ASAP. I have (if you remember) two jobs Monday to Thursday! I've been running Adaware several times every day and removing the CWS trash on a constant basis. I'll report back as soon as I finish this procedure . Thanks to everyone who's tryna help this cyberdonkey. |

If you have any questions regarding the removal process, just holler! It's really quite straightforward. I understand your concern, but once again, about:Buster is extremely safe to use.

Boot into Safe Mode: Reboot your computer, start tapping F8 when it first starts booting, select Safe Mode.
Scan with HijackThis and put checks next to all the following, then click "Fix Checked" R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = res://C:\winnt\system32\myzgk.dll/sp.html#28129 R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = res://C:\winnt\system32\myzgk.dll/sp.html#28129 R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = res://C:\winnt\system32\myzgk.dll/sp.html#28129 Double click AboutBuster.exe that you downloaded earlier. Click OK, click Start, then click OK. This will scan your computer for the bad files and delete them. Save the report(copy and paste into notepad or wordpad and save as a .txt file) and post a copy back here when you are done with all the steps. Scan with Adaware and let it remove any bad files found. Clean out temporary and TIF files. Go to Start > Run and type in the box: cleanmgr. Let it scan your system for files to remove. Make sure these 3 are checked and then press *ok* to remove: Temporary Files Temporary Internet Files Recycle Bin Reboot to normal mode, scan again with Hijack This and post a new log here. Finally, do an online scan at the following site. Let it remove any infected files found.

Ok you did it!
Good work!!!!These are tools that will help keep you from getting infected again: SpywareBlaster will block bad ActiveX and malevolent cookies. http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html SpywareGuard provides a real-time protection solution against spyware that is a great addition to SpywareBlaster's protection method. http://www.wilderssecurity.net/spywareguard.html IE-SPYAD puts over 4000 sites in your restricted zone so you'll be protected when you visit innocent-looking sites that aren't actually innocent at all. http://www.staff.uiuc.edu/~ehowes/resource.htm#IESPYAD All are very small free programs. Occasionally check for updates. Check for updates for Windows and Internet Explorer every week or so. Download each critical update one by one, rebooting when necessary.. Repeat this until you get the message "no critical updates available" http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ Please take a minute to read: So how did I get infected in the first place? http://computercops.biz/postlite7736-.html Tom |
