sUBs:

i had one silly n00bie question here, about the eZula TopText. Removed it using search & destroy. even restarted the pc (as directed by S&D). the adware/spyware seems to be gone, but the directory in c:\program files still exists and cannot be deleted.

1. does this mean i am still infected? (thorough search + scan and no ezula running tasks in the services)

2. any way to remove the annoying files that end w/ *.tmp? i tried many software but still cannot remove the annoying drectory.

thanx

edit: problem 1 and 2 solved. my trust bitdefender deleted the *.tmp files, and thus letting me delete the annoying directory. however, new prob arises:

In the add/remove dialogue, the TOPTEXT, MYSEARCH and SEARCH ASSISTANT still exist.

1. does this mean I am still INFECTED?

2. can i just delete it from the registry entries manually?

3. any way to remove it w/o using registry edit?

edit : PROBLEM SOLVED. multiple software used to deal all this.

sheesh... just ONE wrong click, and i pent 2 hours cleaning each and every parasites... how did this happen? my 8 months w/o spyware record has been busted cry.gif

You should have uninstalled the programs with Add/Remove programs before allowing the antivirus to forcibly remove them. It may leave several orphaned entries in your Registry.

Try this first..

Download Trend Micro(tm) Anti-Spyware (by clicking the "Scan and Clean your PC" button).
  • Double-click the tmas-web-scan.exe icon
  • It will say "Loading TrendMicro definitions".
  • Click "Start Scan"
After it's done scanning, click "Scan Results"
  • Make sure all items found have a check next to them, then click "Clean Threats Now".
  • Click Exit.

It's quite good at removing such entries.

If that doesnt work, run HijackThis
Go to Config > Misc Tools - Open Uninstall Manager
Select the program & click "Delete this entry"

sUBs: problems all solved. thanx to your guides and tips.

time taken to be infected: less than 1 minute
time to clean: 2+ hours


here are the list of softwares that i've used:

1. BitDefender (the main s/w that alerted me 2 hours ago and stopped system wide infection)
2. Spybot Search & Destroy (sUBs recommendation)
3. Spyware Blaster (again, thanx to sUBs)
4. AdAware (long time forgotten s/ware tucked inside my hard drive)
5. RegCleaner (the registered version by the great Juno) thumbup.gif - this is used to delet all the annoying add/remove lists


identified spyware:

1. 180solutions
2. search assistant
3. my search
4. ezula toptext

LOP is a sneaky adware/spyware which I came across often before. It can infect both IE and Netscape/Mozilla as well, however only way it can enter your system is still thru IE (aka Idiot Exploiter). One it infects the system, your browser, desktop, explorer and search functions are hijacked. It also create/modify registry entries so that it can be used with Mozilla or Netscape. On some machines, especially those running older Windows ME operating systems, it randomly crashes the system.. usually causing Explorer crashes and illegal operations. mad.gif

Anyway, DO NOT trust the uninstaller tool from the creators of LOP themselves. Its better to get a 3rd party utility to clean out that pesky LOP. flex.gif

CWShredder or HijackThis closes immediately after opening?

There is a variant of the Coolwebsearch trojan spreading that closes several anti-spyware apps when you try to open them.

If this is happening to you, download PepiMK's CoolWWWSearch.SmartKiller removal tool first and run it. After it does its job, CWShredder and HijackThis will run properly (as well Spybot S&D, Ad-aware and several anti-spyware forums).
