Having some trouble eliminating a nasty piece of malware, Spybot S&D and Adaware both can't seem to fix this regkey. I'll post a HJT log, if anyone has any advice I'd be happy to hear it. Thanks in advance!

Please read Ewido Setup Instructions (http://rstones12.geekstogo.com/ewidosetup.htm)
Install it, and update the definitions to the newest files. Do NOT run a scan yet.
If you have not already installed Ad-Aware SE 1.06, follow these download and setup instructions, otherwise, check for updates:
Ad-Aware SE Setup (http://rstones12.geekstogo.com/adawareSE_setup.htm)

===================================================
Close HiJackThis.
Open the smitRem folder, then double click the RunThis.bat file to start the tool. Follow the prompts on screen.
Wait for the tool to complete and disk cleanup to finish.
The tool will create a log named smitfiles.txt in the root of your drive, eg; Local Disk C: or partition where your operating system is installed. Please post that log along with all others requested in your next reply.
Open Ad-aware and do a full scan. Remove all it finds.
Run Ewido:
Click on scanner
Click on Complete System Scan and the scan will begin.
NOTE: During some scans with ewido it is finding cases of false positives.
You will need to step through the process of cleaning files one-by-one.
If ewido detects a file you KNOW to be legitimate, select none as the action.
DO NOT select "Perform action on all infections"
If you are unsure of any entry found select none for now.
When the scan is finished, click the Save report button at the bottom of the screen.
Save the report to your desktop
Close Ewido
Next go to Control Panel click Display > Desktop > Customize Desktop > Web > Uncheck "Security Info" if present.
Reboot back into Windows and click the Panda ActiveScan shortcut.
- Once you are on the Panda site click the Scan your PC button
- A new window will open...click the Check Now button
- Enter your Country
- Enter your State/Province
- Enter your e-mail address and click send
- Select either Home User or Company
- Click the big Scan Now button
- If it wants to install an ActiveX component allow it
- It will start downloading the files it requires for the scan (Note: It may take a couple of minutes)
- When download is complete, click on Local Disks to start the scan
- When the scan completes, if anything malicious is detected, click the See Report button, then Save Report and save it to a convenient location.
Post the contents of the Panda scan report, along with a new HijackThis Log, the contents of smitfiles.txt and the Ewido Log by using Add Reply.
Let us know if any problems persist. We will have more to do.
Thanks...pskelley

Hey Devo, Seems the instructions to post the PandaScan results was not highlited by noahdfear, but I do need to see that. Panda no longer removes stuff free, but it locates stuff other programs do not. I will look at the other logs and post the results, I would appreciate it if you do not have the PandaScan, run it again and post the results just to be safe. We want a clean computer.
smitRem © log file version 2.8 by noahdfear is CLEAN! Good news:dancing-c

No surprises, everything located removed and I see no indication of any other problems.

Opps, this item is a marker for a variety of CoolWebSearch and we need to run a tool to remove it:
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = res://C:\DOCUME~1\Devo\LOCALS~1\Temp\se.dll/space.html
Download Nikitas Tools: http://www.derbilk.de/SpSeHjfix112.zip
into a folder.
Disconnect from the net and Close ALL OPEN PROGRAMS.
Run 'SpSeHjfix'. and click on "Start Disinfection".
When it's finished it will reboot your machine to finish the cleaning process.
The tool creates a log of the fix which will appear in the folder.
Reboot and post the log and the log from the PandaScan and a new HJT log.
Thanks...Phil

Thanks Devo for your kind words, I could use the cookies but I do work for the thanks and a hatred for this evil and the thanks is appreciated. This CWS stuff was hiding and when we shook up the nest it reared it's ugly head. The SPSeHjFix did locate and remove it. Located here: 12/26/05 10:00:03 PM, Disinfection started here: 12/26/05 10:00:05 PM, and deleted it here: 12/26/05 10:00:05 PM. I am not real familiar with this fix, I only know it works. It seems it runs several times during the process of cleaning.

This: R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = is still in the log, it is clutter and sometimes they can be hard to remove. It is harmless but if you want it gone, try using HJT in safe mode: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial61.html Good opportunity to do maintenance, it will do a better job and complete faster in safe mode.
This: C:\Program Files\ewido anti-malware\ As much as I depend on ewido, I have to let you know that it does use a bunch of resources, so you should turn it off when the trial is over unless you purchase it. Keep the scanner and free updates for as long as you wish.
FYI: O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ATICCC] "C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\cli.exe" runtime -Delay

Because malware often gets backed up in the System Restore files and can reinfect you if you need them for a legitimate reason, follow these instruction to get clean files:
