Spybot detected coolwwwsearch.leftovers

[Mr_JAk3]

Ok :)

Please also post the Spybot findings to here :bigthumb:

[irene64]

fixed the problem!!

Used Spybot in Safe Mode - deleted file coolwwwsearch.leftovers

Thank you for sharing your expertise with all of us. :D:

[Mr_JAk3]

Nice to hear that :)

Any other issues, is the computer running fine?

[irene64]

no problems thanks for asking.:bigthumb:

I hope this will solve winlogon.exe issue, (so far it has) and hopefully I won't get it again as I have removed Microsoft Java and replaced it with Sun.
I also have activated teatimer, although it stuffs up my fax driver....
regards

[Mr_JAk3]

What was wrong with winlogon.exe?

Go to virustotal.com (http://www.virustotal.com)
Copy the following to the box next to "Browse" button:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\winlogon.exe
Click on Send
Wait for the scan to end.

Copy & Paste the scan results to here.

Hi there,
did a scan and there's no problem with my winlogon.

It's just that coolWWWsearch.leftovers messes with winlogon. Now that I got rid of it, I don't get that message that says:
winlogon.exe has encountered a problem and needed to close on startup.

what is ctfmon32.exe for? (ctfmon.exe)
It always shows up in Spybot System startup. I keep deselecting and it repeatedly selects itself. The description next to it says:
coolwebsearch -parasite related-hijacking to Slawsearch.com

Not required, virus,spyware, malware etc

did a virustotal scan with that too- all is ok. - not a virus
Have a great day regards

[irene64]

ctfmon32 - sorted it out! Got rid of it also! http://www.liutilities.com/products/wintaskspro/processlibrary/ctfmon32/:bigthumb:

Download the latest version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6.0 (http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp).
Scroll down to where it says "The J2SE Runtime Environment (JRE) allows end-users to run Java applications."
Click the "Download" button to the right.
Check the box that says: "Accept License Agreement."
The page will refresh.
Click on the link to download Windows Offline Installation with or without Multi-language and save to your desktop.
Install it
