dingo

08/25/04
I've been trying to shake this cws.searchx (about:blank)highjacker for weeks and nothing seems to work.
I've tried Ad-aware, spybot, cwshredder, trojan hunter, DIIFix and all I dare to delet with highjack this.
I'm running windows xp with Explorer.
Can somebody please help me with this bastard?
Here's the highjack this log:

Here is a fresh HJT log after a reboot without my dicking around with anything. I should have mentioned that I do get some bogus searchpage upon IE startup,not just a blank page. I've also been getting popups galore. Hey, now there's a good stripper name!
Anyhow, thanks in advance for the help.

Anti-SpyWare: spybot s&d
