another Fake MSN8Beta problem

sorry I don't know enough about this stuff to help myself and I realize that there are a pile of other people out there with this bug but as I am not mr super computer I will need some help .... mabe a walk through of hijackthis would be in order yes it is the problem of fake msn8 beta that I am having a problem with and I have read all of the other forums regarding this crapper of a bug (well all the forums that I could find anyway) but in my reading I have also found that I am not qualified to go through the hijackthis routine by myself so any help is greatly appreciated (many props to this site and all the great people who contribute there help to helpless noobies like me)

thanks again

ps I will be online again at about 5:30pm Pacific time march 7 to see if I can get ride of this stupid bug if that helps at all

Tashi Rocks The World

to add to this problem I have noticed some other things as my computer has been scanning GAIN GATOR - and some kind of tool bar that I have never heard of wwwCOOLSearch and others - I am not sure if these problems are linked together but they do make me a little worried --- I also need to learn how to post the report and how to get the report... :bigthumb: :bigthumb: :bigthumb: TASHI :bigthumb: :bigthumb: .. thanks for giving me the link to those virus programs they worked ... well for the most part ... as you can see I am still here and still need some help.... I noticed the post you put up about installing hijackthis but I still don't know where or how to get the report your looking for sorry nor do I know how to post it ... sorry I'm kind of a retard when it comes to this kind of thing still (only had a computer for about 2 weeks now) but I am on a major learning curve

ps I told u I would give you major props

Hello.
If you go here:
Before you post a log, and who will advise you.
There are instructions for downloading and running HJT. (HiJackThis)

Once you get a HJT log and post it here in this topic, a helper will be able to start to assist you.

No worries we are all new at something, just try to get that one log.

hmmm just to let you know I tryed to find wwwcoolsearch through the windows search engine by searching C: and looked at every file and program available there but still couldn't fid it ... yet when doing a virus scan "or" spybot scan it still shows that it is scanning these files perhaps I deleted something without knowing what I did? I don't know? all I know is that if I did something stupid like that it is just going to make life harder for us but I just thought I'd let you know that the possibility is there that I did do something dumb-assed like that did I say that you are the best? yet?

got an early mornin tm

I will be back online tm around 5;30 Pacific time have a great night .... hope you have a special someone to put a smile on your face tonight (I'm not tryin to be rude just make you laugh:angel: )

Hi

Blindman is a file spybot uses
"to add to this problem I have noticed some other things as my computer has been scanning GAIN GATOR "

When checking for problems with SpyBot what you see "running bot check"
is what SpyBot is looking for, not nessesaraly whats on your PC, understand ?

Your logs look fine, are you experianceing browser hijacks or redirects ?
any odd problems or errors ?

Thanx

thanx lonny... yeah I was having some trouble with a worm and a virus ... but my computer still seems like it's running slow?? especially at start up TASHI was helping me but I haven't heard from them in a few days now. I think I might have upset them with one of my posts but I was was just tryin to make them laugh, maybe my sense of humor is a little warped(lol). You guys really deserve a lot of credit for helpin ppl out the way you do ... I don't know if you know how much we (I) appreciate it

let me know if there is anything else we can check out ... please thanx

back to your questions ...

I haven't noticed any redirects but sometimes it takes forever for programs to get running and I've had MSN Messenger stall* a couple times for no reason??

*not sure if this is the correct term or not... symptom:
does not respond when opening then crashes all together and asks if I want to send a report after it shuts down automatically

also this computer is a fresh rebuild (only running for 2 weeks or so)so I wouldn't think it shoud be slow at all considering it has a 2100 P4 processor and 2 sticks of ddr ram and a 128 vid card

Providing an event viewer log when that happens might help
windows control panel administrative tool's >event viewer
