Why Yahoo site says this

[COPO]

ok crunchie, I'll do that....thx for the Startup Appl List link.

[COPO]

Ok what's up with both of these links?
This says Connection to SysInfo.org database server not possible! CGI-limits reached, please try again later!

http://www.sysinfo.org/startuplist....ount=&type=
at work and at home, it did work at work for a few times.

CWShredder, this must be a slow link cause I wait and wait and finally stop cause I can't take waiting forever, why? http://209.133.47.200/~merijn/files/CWShredder.exe

These sites are usually under attack by the creators and partners of the parasite/trojan that infected your system. It's usually very hard to get through.

Do you need the CW Shredder, or do you already have that?

[COPO]

I still need the CWShredder

PM me your E-mail and I can send you version 1.56.1, of CW Shredder which is fairly recent.

[crunchie]

Here's a different link for you.
Download CWShredder from http://www.computercops.biz/downloads-file-349.html & run it. Select the fix button & it will get rid of everything related to CoolWebSearch. Close ALL other programs & windows, including IE, before running CWShredder.

Sysinfo is getting a lot of use lately. I'm having a problem too. I find that I just keep refreshing the page & I eventually get it. They obviously only have so much bandwidth to use & the lmits keep being reached.

I ran CWShredder and cleaned up stuff and saved the results in a word file.
I ran HijackThis again and here is what I got. Do I need to delete anything? Thx in advance guys and thx crunchie for the CWS new link.

Just those & then Your next step is to go here & install ALL critical updates required for your system.
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/

I have to ask if you rebooted after running CWShredder & B4 posting this log to be sure that nothing came back.

[COPO]

ok,
Windows media player keeps loosing his location and showing up on the spybot and getting RED flagged. So I'm downloading another file. I'll post my HijackThis soon.

[COPO]

I've ran adaware, Spybot and CWS with no errors. I've done my windows update with this one

Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 (KB832894)
Download size: 2.8 MB, < 1 minute
Identified security issues in Internet Explorer could allow an attacker to compromise a Windows-based system. For example, an attacker could run programs on your computer while you view a Web page. This affects all computers with Internet Explorer installed (even if you don’t run Internet Explorer as your Web browser). After you install this item, you may need to restart your computer. Read more...

and it's causing me a problem and in the past I've left this one out because of this, read on.

After the load when I do a right mouse click on Start and select Explorer, then a left click on My Documents, or My Network Places or My Computer it doesn’t take me there but just turns green from blue. If I do a restore back before the patch it’s ok. Anyone have a fix for this? I really need to keep this patch on.

I did notice before the patch was on that Spyboy trapped Windows Media Player. I couldn't find a deinstall feature for this, it's not in the control panel or the Start Menu. So should it have one? I downloaded a new version of Win Media Player 7.1 cause on Win Me Verison 9 sound jumps.

Anyhow after another reboot I ran adaware, Spybot and they were clean. Below is my HijackThis log. Please check it out and see if I'm clean now.

Just ran Spybot after surfing a bit and got this:

Anything to worry about? I removed it. But it will probably return, is that normal when you surf the Net?
