'My WebSearch' removal problem

Unread postby 8826markb » April 9th, 2011, 8:20 pm

Hi there -

I have now amended my query as follows & as requested by the Malware Removal Forum Administrator:

I apologise in advance if this topic has been answered elsewhere - I have been unable to find the solution needed though

On 1st April (apparently in error) I installed a 'MyWebSearch' toolbar on my (music production) PC which runs Windows XP Pro

AntiMalwareBytes successfully removed the infection but supplimentary files connecte4d to MyWebSearch are still causing problems at boot up

When I boot up I get an error message stating =

'Unable to find C:\ProgramFiles\MyWebSearch\bar\setups\MyWebSearchInstaller(00accb88).exe'

As a result the PC is very slow & some applications are not responding as they should

I have a HiJack log file though here attach as requested the

1. DDS log &

2. Attach txt

however please note the following:

1 - Using the 'kill process' facility in HiJack the entry relation to the above i.e.

04 HKLM\..\ RunOnce: [My Web Search Installer] "C:\ProgramFiles\MyWebSearch\bar\setups\MyWebSearchInstaller(00accb88).exe" /r

appears time & time again on reboot - My system restore has been disabled since the last infection & so I presume a copy must be stored in my Avast! antivirus or somewhere else - OR even a separate .dll file is re-entering the data after deletion

2. Doing the same with SpyBot I noticed not one but TWO entries for the

04 HKLM\..\ RunOnce: [My Web Search Installer] "C:\ProgramFiles\MyWebSearch\bar\setups\MyWebSearchInstaller(00accb88).exe" /r

contained within the advanced tools 'start up' analysis

Here unticking both has no effect as similalrly both reappear immediately

I would be very grateful if someone would give me an idiot-guide method of removing this headache (I being the idiot :roll: defo agreed on this) as soon as possible as I am unable to finish current projects until this issue is resolved

Kind regards & many thanks in advance

Mark :)

Hi and welcome to Malware Removal Forum.
My name is Cypher, and I will be helping you with your malware problems.
This may or may not, solve other issues you have with your machine.
If you no longer require help i would be grateful if you would let me know.

Before we start please note the following important guidelines.
  • The instructions being given are for YOUR computer and system only!.
    Using these instructions on a different computer, can damage that computer and possibly make it inoperable!
  • If you don't know or understand something, please don't hesitate to ask.
  • Only post your problem at One help site. Applying fixes from multiple help sites can cause problems.
  • Only reply to this thread do not start another, Please continue responding until I give you the "All Clean"
    Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.
  • Please DO NOT run any other tools or scans whilst I am helping you.
  • Please DO NOT install any other software (or hardware) during the cleaning process.
  • Print each set of instructions... if possible...your Internet connection will not be available during some fix processes.
  • Your security programs may give warnings for some of the tools I will ask you to use. Be assured, any links I give are safe.
  • Note: No Reply Within 3 Days Will Result In Your Topic Being Closed!

Note: If you haven't done so already, please read this topic ALL USERS OF THIS FORUM MUST READ THIS FIRST where the conditions for receiving help here are explained.
Please be aware that removing Malware is a potentially hazardous undertaking. I will take care not to knowingly suggest courses of action that might damage your computer. However it is impossible for me to foresee all interactions that may happen between the software on your computer and those we'll use to clear you of infection, and I cannot guarantee the safety of your system. It is possible that we might encounter situations where the only recourse is to re-format and re-install your operating system, or to necessitate you taking your computer to a repair shop.

Because of this, I advise you to backup any personal files and folders before you start.
Backup your data - XP
Backup your data - Vista
Backup your data - windows 7


Add/Remove programs
  • Click on start
  • Then Run
  • In the open text entry box please copy/paste appwiz.cpl Then click enter.
  • Press the "Remove" or "Change/Remove"...button to uninstall the following.
Ask Toolbar
Spybot - Search & Destroy << you can reinstall when your PC is clean.

Next.

Download and Run ComboFix

  • Please download ComboFix from one of the following links.

    Link 1.

    Link 2.

    **IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop**
  • Please disable any Antivirus or Firewall you have active, as shown in this topic. Please close all open application windows.
  • Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts
  • As part of it's process, ComboFix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed. With malware infections being as they are today, it's strongly recommended to have this pre-installed on your machine before doing any malware removal. It will allow you to boot up into a special recovery/repair mode that will allow us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware
  • Follow the prompts to allow ComboFix to download and install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console, and when prompted, agree to the End-User License Agreement to install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console
Image
**Please note: If the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is already installed, ComboFix will continue it's malware removal procedures.

Once the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed using ComboFix, you should see the following message:
Image

  • Click on Yes, to continue scanning for malware.
  • When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Please include the contents of C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply
A word of warning: Neither I nor sUBs are responsible for any damage you may cause to your machine by running ComboFix on your own. This tool is not a toy and not for everyday use.
ComboFix SHOULD NOT be used unless requested by a forum helper

Due to a lack of response, this topic is now closed.

If you still require help, please open a new thread in the Infected? Virus, malware, adware, ransomware, oh my! forum, include a fresh FRST log, and wait for a new helper.
