Hey Lloyd ; thanks for starting your own thread. You have a nasty Coolweb infection, which may require lots of work. Roll up your sleeves dude !!

I'll be back shortly, with more on the fix..

Ok, here goes...

Download this tool : AboutBuster

Create a new folder (on your Desktop, for convenience, and name it "Buster"). Double-click the zipped AboutBuster install file, then double-click on aboutbuster.exe ; extract all files to your new "Buster" folder. Double-click AboutBuster.exe and click Ok. Next, hit update. A new screen should popup. On that screen hit Check for Updates. If it says it found an update hit Download Updates. Exit the tool for now. If it doesn't need updating, it will automatically tell you and exit. Better to print these instructions out.

Now, have ONLY HijackThis! running (it is critical that IE be closed during this fix), and check to fix these entries, then click on "Fix checked" :

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {146F3AC5-1175-324D-8BA9-B14C18C5BA5A} - C:\WINDOWS\addvs.dll

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Microsoft-Updates] svxhost.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [iedo32.exe] C:\WINDOWS\system32\iedo32.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [Microsoft-Updates] svxhost.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunOnce: [ipqp.exe] C:\WINDOWS\ipqp.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunOnce: [sdkfj.exe] C:\WINDOWS\system32\sdkfj.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunOnce: [javayl.exe] C:\WINDOWS\system32\javayl.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunOnce: [atlgj32.exe] C:\WINDOWS\system32\atlgj32.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunOnce: [crzk.exe] C:\WINDOWS\system32\crzk.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunOnce: [apiyv.exe] C:\WINDOWS\system32\apiyv.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunOnce: [sdkvf32.exe] C:\WINDOWS\system32\sdkvf32.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunOnce: [ntzu.exe] C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntzu.exe

Now, open your "Buster" folder again and run the tool : Hit Start and then Ok. The program should start scanning. Once the scan is complete, copy/paste the report into NotePad and save it. Then hit Exit and reboot. Run the tool a second time for good measure, and save the new report to NotePad as well. Reboot if any new files were detected by the tool.. Scan with HijackThis!, then post the new log, along with the AboutBuster reports. Good luck !

hi, i did what you said and the error did not appear at re-boot, i think it may be fixed. would this coolweb thing be the reason i keep getting stupid pop ups and my home page keeps getting changed to a site trying to sell me stuff? i'm guessing it is. here's the scan results you requested of the buster scan before and after re-boot and of the hijackthis scans. thanks.

Good work Lloyd. Time for round two... (these things need some time to fix, but are often fixable !).

Follow this link, to be able to See hidden files and folders. Next, fire up Task Manager (press CTRL+ALT+DEL), "Processes" tab, and END these two processes :

netai.exe
sdklc32.exe

Next, locate and delete these files :

C:\WINDOWS\system32\netai.exe <<< this one
C:\WINDOWS\system32\sdklc32.exe <<< this one

Now, have ONLY HijackThis! running, and fix these :

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {146F3AC5-1175-324D-8BA9-B14C18C5BA5A} - C:\WINDOWS\addvs.dll

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [sdklc32.exe] C:\WINDOWS\system32\sdklc32.exe

You can run AboutBuster again. Twice ! and save the logs to NotePad. Reboot your machine once done. Scan with HijackThis! once again, then post the new log + reports. I'm going to bed, but will check up on you in the morning. We may still need to go at it, but that's fine... I hate this hijack, and want it GONE !! Good luck, and see ya tomorrow..

hi, lloyd again. i again did what you said. i located both files and deleted them but only one came up in the hijackthis scan results. i scanned again but could still only find sdklc32.exe, so i fixed that one. i could not see netai.exe in the report. i scanned with buster before i rebooted and here is the scan log of hijackthis after rebooting. i can't wait until this prick of a hijacker is gone from my (new) computer!! thanks!

I think we're getting there Lloyd. This time, we'll do it in Safe Mode. First, I'd like you to run AboutBuster and hit the "Update" button, just to be sure (you can't update in "Safe Mode") ; then exit. Now, please Reboot your computer in Safe Mode. Have HijackThis! fix these :

Still in Safe Mode, run AboutBuster and save the report. Reboot normally. Scan with HJT once more, and post the new log + report. We're getting there Lloyd...

Sorry Lloyd, I had to scoot for most of the day..

Clean log there, nice work !! This thing can come back once you've opened/closed IE a few times within 48 hours, but I'd be surprised here. One thing we like to do after cleaning these CWS hijacks is to run Ad-Aware (it's probably better at this stuff than SpyBot and SpySweeper).. just to be safe ! Link here : Ad-Aware (this is the new "SE" version, which will uninstall any previous version while installing). Do a full scan. I'll leave this thread open for a few days, just in case. Safe surfing dude !
