Homepage hijacked

something changed my homepage to
res://gwcya.dll/index.html#27063

i tried changing it in my internet options and it keeps going back to that.
i've used spybot and adaware and nothings found it.

does anyone know what i should do now?
the new crap search engine website always has this pop up that says SPYWARE DETECTED
and im like WELL DUH YOU PUT IT THERE

anyway if anyone could help me figure out how to change it back any help is appreciated

Hrmm, that surprises me that spybot and adaware hasn't found it. Those are two of the three (IMO) leading spyware detection/removal tool's. Anyways, search google for hijackthis and do a scan. Then come back and post your hijackthis logs. I as well as a certain groovicus could be able to help you out possibly.

That's the new CWS(don't run CWS shredder, it will mask the symptoms)...currently, nothing but manual removal fixes it. :(

'Hijack This!'.
Save it in a convenient permanent folder such as C:\HJT\, double click HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".

Then post your log as a hidden post, and someone will get a chance to look at it.:D

yeah damnit i ran that cwshredder thing. so i guess that was a load of crap then?
alright ill try that hijackthis thing

ok i got my scan log. how do i post it as a hidden post?

Simply put your log in here like you normally would, then put a checkmark in the "Hide this post" box on the lower left side of the "Add reply" screen, under options.

Verify that your Adaware definitons are up to date first. Click on the globe with the spyglass in the upper right corner, and let it do it's thing. Also, print out this entire thread for reference.

---

Please do not open Internet Explorer during any portion of this process. Please print out the directions listed below. If you open IE during any part of this process, all the file names will morph, and we will have to start over.

Please also make sure that you can view all hidden files. Instructions on how to do this can be found here:

How to see hidden files in Windows

Step 1:


Click on start, the control panel, then administrative programs, then services. Look for a service called Network Security Service. Double click on the that service and click stop and then set the service to disabled. Also write down the name and path of the file listed in the Path to executable field. This filename must be deleted below.

Step 2:

Press control-alt-delete to get into the task manager and end the follow processes if they exist:

The name of the file from the service above
C:\WINDOWS\system32\sdkvm32.exe
C:\Program Files\WindowsSA\omniscient.exe
C:\Program Files\Web_Rebates\WebRebates0.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\jxnfed.exe
gwcya.dll
C:\WINDOWS\atldq32.dll


Step 3:
I now need you to delete the following files:

The name of the file from the service above
C:\WINDOWS\system32\sdkvm32.exe
C:\Program Files\WindowsSA\omniscient.exe
C:\Program Files\Web_Rebates\WebRebates0.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\jxnfed.exe
gwcya.dll
C:\WINDOWS\atldq32.dll


Also delete any files that have the same name as these files but end with a dll. You should see them right next to each other. If you are using explorer to search for these files, make sure that you check the option to search hidden files and folders, otherwise you won't find them. If you get an error when deleting a file. Right click on the file and check to see if the read only attribute is checked. if it is uncheck it and try again.

Step 4:
Then run hijackthis and fix these entries:

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = no
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = res://C:\WINDOWS\system32\gwcya.dll/sp.html#27063

Step 5:

In the next step we are going to remove a service that gets installed by this malware. The service will always start with __NS_Service. For the purposes of this step, we will assume that it is called NS_Service_3 but may be called something differently on your computer.

Go to Start>Run and type regedit.

Press enter.

Navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\__NS_Service_3

If __NS_Service_3 exists , right click on it and choose delete from the menu.

Now navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY___NS_Service_3

If LEGACY___NS_Service_3 exists then right click on it and choose delete from the menu.

If you have trouble deleting a key. Then click once on the key name (LEGACY__NS_SERVICE_ or some other name that starts with LEGACY__NS_SERVICE) to highlight it and click on the Permission menu option under Security or Edit. Then Uncheck "Allow inheritible permissions" and press copy. Then click on everyone and put a checkmark in "full control". Then press apply and ok and attempt to delete the key again.


Step 6:

Restore files deleted by this malware.

• Download the Hoster from here. Press "Restore Original Hosts" and press "OK". Exit Program. This will restore the original deleted Hosts file.
  
  
• If you have Spybot S&D installed you will also need to replace one file. Go here: Merijn's Files (sdhelper) and download SDHelper.dll. Copy the file to the folder containing you Spybot S&D program (normally C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy). Then click Start > Run > regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\SDHelper.dll" and press the OK button
  
  
• If you are using Windows 95, 98, or ME it is possible that the malware deleted your control.exe. Please check for the existence of this file by going to to Merijn Files control.exe and examine where the file should be for your operating system. If the file is missing then download the appropriate file and place it in the proper place according to this information.
  

Boot into SAFE MODE by tapping the f8 key during boot up.

In Ad-aware click the Gear Icon at the top of the screen.

The following items should be on a green check, not on a red X.

Under the Scanning button:

Scan within archives

Under Memory & Registry, Check EVERYTHING

In Check Drives & Folders, make sure all of your hard drives are selected

Under the Advanced button, check ALL under Log detail level (this makes it easier for visitors to the Lavasoft Support Forums to see what options you have selected should you require assistance.)

Under the Tweak button...

Some of these may not be an available option, depending on your version of Ad-aware and your version of Windows. Do not be concerned if you cannot select a certain item.

In Scanning Engine:

Unload recognized processes during scanning

Include info about ignored objects in logfile, if detected in scan

Include basic Ad-aware settings in logfile

Include additional Ad-aware settings in logfile

Include used command line parameters in logfile

In Cleaning Engine:

XP/2000: Allow unloading explorer to unload shell extensions prior to deletion

Let Windows remove files in use at next reboot

UNCHECK: Automatically try to unregister objects prior to deletion

Click Proceed to save these settings.

Reboot and post a fresh HJT log. :D

ugh. sorry guys ive been out of the house.
but okay i updated adaware then i scanned with it. and the homepage went away for like 20 minutes then it changed to this other search page with pop ups. and id change the homepage and it would change back later again. so should i do a HJT scan again and post a new log?

Also, in the quote directions you said to go Start > Control Panel > Administrative Programs but i didn't see Administrative Programs on my Control Panel

Can we see a new log please?

Also, in the quote directions you said to go Start > Control Panel > Administrative Programs but i didn't see Administrative Programs on my Control Panel

---

If you switch to classic view you will see Administrative Tools more easily than in the catagory view that is the default. Left side of the control panel window.

In addition to posting a new log, did you do the first half of the instructions also, or did you just run Adaware??

i jsut ran adaware after updating it

aboutbuster to the rescue. Worked for me and should for you.

This program is made to remove all random.dll hijacks. What you have is a variant of the CoolWebSearch Program, unfotunately the creator of CWShredder is no longer supported by the author so this is a different program.

it can be downloaded from http://www.downloads.subratam.org/AboutBuster.zip


and here is a pretty well detailed document on how to use it.

Great program and should pretty well help you get rid of this pos.

With all respect, no, it's not. It deals with one type of CWS only.

To put it more clearly, merijn will no longer be updating the shredder because the variants of CWS are getting so complex, no single tool can remove all instances. About:Buster is one of the new tools created to combat one specific variant of CWS;however, it is still not 100% effective, and still needs to be coupled with manual removal.

While this is one method of combating it, these instructions fail to mention that if you had spybot on your system, one of it's essential .dll's has been erased. The instructions are incomplete.

cvguy, the first part of the instructions were there for a reason, not as an option. I knew before you even said anything that you had only run Adaware, or the number in the following line: res://auyyb.dll/index.html#27063 would have been different. :D

okay theres 2 services. One's called Network Security Service and Network Security Service (NSS)

i stopped and disabled the Network Security Service but now its gone, can i find it again to get its path?

hoookay. issues i've encountered:

out of the given processes i could only find WebRebates0.exe and I would stop and it it would pop back up. if the CPU usage is 00 does that mean its stopped or not running? cause it would pop back up but have 00 CPU

out of those files i could only find WebRebates0 and there was also a WebRebates1
i tried deleting WebRebates0 but it wasnt allowed, and the Read-Only Attribute was already unchecked.

I ran hijack this and now instead of "res://gwcya.dll/inex.html#27063" it reads "res://C:\WINDOWS\lgeae.dll/sp.html#27063" << and also since before u said that it was obvious i didn't do the first part because those numbers would be different. they're the same. what am i doing wrong? hah or am i doing anything right?

how do i "fix" those entried u listed?

anyway this is what hijack this reads now if it helps any. thanks so much for the help even if it is seemingly hopeless.

lmao...nope, I'm just a lowly footsoldier. Meeeeeeeeee is the spyware god, and grinler, and sumdumguy, now we're talking some talented people there.

I can appreciate that people want to help. There is a huge need for many more. I wish people would spend a little time learning to identify the malware before recommending fixes though. It's not that hard. I'd also rather see an untouched log first, because then I can follow from point a to point b. When I come in at point c or point z, by then I don't know what is going on, or what has happened before, and things get broken.

I don't like using about:buster though, because it seems to take more attempts in removing everything, even though many others seem to use it quite successfully...in a case like this, it is warranted to give it a try.

cvqguy, if you have not rebooted since posting the last log, please let us know, otherwise, you (once again) will have to put up a new log. Once you do that, please do not reboot until we get you through the steps....

im not sure so im just going to post a new log anyway. haha. is that cool? thanks soo much you guys. here it is:

Make sure you have printed this page and close ALL Internet Explorer windows. This is a very important step!!

Run AboutBuster.exe, click ok, then start, then OK. Make a copy of the log once it finishes. Then run aboutbuster.exe again. Make a copy of that log.

Reboot and post a new HijackThis log along with the two reports from About:Buster.

This fix is a little simpler, but it will take care of the service you were having problems finding.

Hopefully you are clean after that...funny more files didn't show up in your running processes though.

I'll keep my fingers crossed. BTW, get some protection on that thing.:D

ok i fixed those problems. what do u mean by protection?

regprot, spywareblaster, a-squared,winpatrol, IEspyad, sygate..

Just having an AV isn't enough to do it anymore. I'd hate to see you get reinfected again. :D

haha thanks Doc! :D thank you sooo much for all of your help!
