Help with hijackthis log, please

Hi all, I'm trying to get my system to work ok again, since it's crashing often, and I think 'winka' and this is the cause. Please help with the hijackthis log to delete and correct what's wrong, thanks...

Hi elnomada,

You might want to print these instructions for reference, as you will be off the internet while using HijackThis.

Remove the BlazeFind search bar:

First close all browser windows. Now go to your Windows Control Panel in Add/Remove Programs, close the Control Panel window if you can and remove 'IE SearchBar ' from the Add/Remove Programs window as well as 'Windows SA' if its present. This will lead you the the Blazefind homepage. Now go the homepage you wish to set as your own, and click in browser Tools / Internet Options and in the homepage section 'Use current'. Please reboot to make sure all changes are saved and changed properly for all Windows versions.

New users:
The new Software has a different name. You have to remove 'Internet Explorer SearchBar' in add/remove programs in Windows as well as 'Windows Search Functions' and 'Windows SA'. It will also automatically reset your homepage to your previous one.

Then....

You are infected with NewDotNet:

To remove newdotnet, use the uninstaller at
http://www.newdotnet.com/#remove
It requires that a internet connection be active while doing it.

Then...

You have a coolwebsearch infection, among other things. Please download CWShredder written by Merijn Bellekom from Here

Press "Check for Update" and download any new updates available.

Close ALL browser windows or it may not work! Unzip it to a convenient location such as your Desktop and select "Fix" (do not just Scan). It will automatically remove the infections.

Then....

Logoff your internet connection. Run HijackThis, close all browsers and any other windows, click scan, place a checkmark next to the following items. Click "fix checked". It is OK if some of these items are no longer listed.

This is a resource hog that can be removed safely:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [TkBellExe] "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Update_OB\realsched.exe" -osboot

Then....

Boot into Safe Mode. Reboot your computer, start tapping F8 when it first starts booting, select Safe Mode.

Make sure your computer is configured to show all files and folders.
Click Start.
Open My Computer.
Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
Select the View Tab. Under the Hidden Files and Folders heading select Show Hidden Files and Folders.
Uncheck the Hide Protected Operating System Files (recommended) option.
Click Yes to confirm.
Click OK.

Delete the following files:

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MPZ300.DLL

Delete the following folders:

C:\Program Files\NewDotNet\
C:\PROGRAM FILES\WINDUPDATES\

Reboot normally.

Then....

Please update HijackThis, you are using an outdated version:

Open HijackThis, click Config > Misc Tools > Check for Update online

Or download a copy of version 1.98.2 at: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download3155.html

Post a fresh log with this new version.

Youl log is clean... 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?
