Hi,
I am another victim of the browser hijack.
My homepage will be reset to
http://www.wholeworldmarket.com/search/top/ upon every log-in, despite customising to another homepage in the previous log-in. In fact it is the default homepage now. Once I switch to another website, one of the search items in searchmeup.com will pop up, e.g.
http://www.searchmeup.com/search.php?aid=278&q=Roulette, http://www.searchmeup.com/search.php?aid=278&q=Party+poker
In addition, it will also add “free movies clips” into Favorites and the link of this is
http://ebony.girlshost.net/. Tried to delete this from Favorites, but I will re-appear upon every log-in.
Steps I have done so far:-
I had done a clean-up using SpyBot & Ad-aware and items from All-in-One Telecom: Dialer, NAVEXCEL, MY-WAY SPEEDBAR, DYFUCA, Avenue A, Inc and Doubleclick have been removed.
Using CoolWWWSearch.SmartKiller removal tool CoolWWWSearch.smartkiller was not found in my PC.
Using Cwshredder, the following files were removed from my PC.
- CWS.Smartsearch
- CWS.System.init
By the way, I am unable to locate the TwainTech file in my PC.
I am running on Win2K.
