On April 30/05 my browser was hijacked, CW shredder reported no coolsearch hijacks, Using Hijackthis, removed all spyware entries ( had a clean log ) so was easy to compare. However, on every re-boot new entries would occur.
Spybot, would scan and find a few entries, but the first entry was a weird warning sign, with German writing, and from this point on I noticed that even though I used Spybot to immunize, it now reported only about 900 entries instead of the over 2000, I would fix it, re-boot, but would go back to only 900 ( aprox) entries.
Also now I can not block pages silently, this option seems to be disabled.
I managed to remove I think all the spyware, as after hijack, I manually hunted down files and references in the registry, and with a floppy boot, was able to deleted associated files.
I googled and searched all over and can find no info, this appears to be a new one, does anyone have any information? Or similar experiences?
Even though my system is now fine, I still need to fix my spybot, and am afraid, as it seems that
every time I tried to update syybot, it was part of the problem, like the spyware attacked the spybot
Any comments appreciated
