Adaware is at: http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/
Spybot is at: http://www.safer-networking.org/

Both are freeware and one or both will cure your hijacking
Avatar of Luc Franken
Hi Subhadeep,

I agree with JConchie on both programs. But as you have those O10 lines in your logfile, watch out...
I suggest you to run this tool first: http://www.merijn.org/files/CWShredder.exe
you will probably see that after you fix the culprit your internet connection won't work anymore, use this tool to get back online:

CWShredder did not work - could not find any registry entries... said all was clean
Both adaware and spybot will remove the hijacker and leave your browser intact.
>>and leave your browser intact.
JConchie, just for the fun of it, check the one and only serious question I've ever asked at EE :)
Adaware did couse my internet connection to drop like a hot potato :)

I do hope Subhadeep has more luck though.

Thanks,
I seemed it worked ran only Spybot - some entries could not be deleted as they were already loaded in memory - upon restarting and running it again it worked ... - Can I uninstall Spy bot now ?

-Subhadeep
Great to hear that, good work JConchie ;-)
I can only go by my own experience........have used bothe adaware and spybot extensively.... have never had issues.
Hopefully what crashed Luc was an earlier version
this has not ended it seems.....

After this incident all kinds of pop ups while I browsed were just eating my head out. I installed ad aware. This helped but not totally .... now while looking I could find a program web rebates .com have been already installed in my PC spy bot hangs while removing and I am not able to remove it form the ad remove programs also ..... any suggestions ????
Please post another log.
