Hello
Yesterday when I was bombarded by pop ups I clicked on a site by accident and since then whenever I load up IE search-findall.com sets itself as the homepage. When I change it it always reverts back. I then investigated and found it linked to searchmeup.com.

I installed ad-ware6, pest control, CWShredder and Hijackthis and nothing has helped. My Hijackthis log identified a lot of search-findall/searchmeup stuff but when I fix it they come back.

I dont have much knowledge when it comes to editing my registry so would apprieciate your help.

Also I have looked at lots of forums topics on its removal but all the advice I read doesnt help in my case so I thought I would submit my own log for review.

Here is the Hijackthis log.

It is just a jumble to me but I did identify some search-findall lines which wont stay deleted.

Id be very grateful if you could shine a light on this for me.

This is definitely CoolWebSearch, make sure CWShredder is updated then run it again making sure you click on 'fix', not 'scan'.

Restart HijackThis and put checks next to the following, close all browser windows (including this one) then click on 'Fix Checked':

Make sure you have Set Windows to show Hidden Files & Folders, then reboot into safe mode then find and delete the following in bold:

C:\Program Files\Common files\updmgr
C:\WINDOWS\ktybhvovh.exe
C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\2.exe
C:\WINDOWS\twaintec.dll
C:\Program Files\CommonName
C:\WINDOWS\ogwvpplir.dll



Then uninstall MessengerPlus2 as it comes bundled with malware.
Then uninstall New.net-

1) From the Windows Start button select Settings and then Control Panel.

2) When the Control Panel window opens, double-click on the Add/Remove Programs icon.

3) When the Add/Remove Programs Properties window opens, locate New.Net in the list of installed programs. Select it and then click on the Add/Remove button.

4) Follow the on screen instructions. Do not have HijackThis fix New.Net

Next uninstall Gator

Reboot then post a fresh log after scanning with Adaware once more.
