I apologise in advance for this posting.I know,I annoy a
great many people with my often muddled observations.
I am writing this because it *may* be of help to someone
out there.With regards to the new CWS variant.I can
confirm,it is more virulent than ever before,and utterly
unfixable by any means.
Please,take my advice and disable active scripting of any
kind in I.E.
I lower this setting in order to be able to post
here,because the net interface will not work without it.I
also needed to lower scripting controls to access Windows
Update,since I purchased and installed Microsoft Works
earlier.
I felt certain,this product must be in need of security
patches immediately after the install,like any other from
Microsoft.(No,those aren't hateful words,I just know the
drill)I had no idea where to find any...
Suffice to say,Spybot Search And Destroy's Tea-Timer
alerted me to an attempted registry alteration.I denied
the change.I am also running Spyware Guard.Believe
me,aside from the scripting,my I.E. advanced settings are
secure to the max.
The hijack took place,nonetheless.All Javacool's Spyware
Blaster and Spybot Search And Destroy were able to do was
block whatever pornographic filth might've shown up in
the search pane,which as I write this,displays an Action
Cancelled page.
HijackThis! did not show any evidence of the search
engine hijack.I ran CWS Shredder,which flagged the
CWS,then returned a fixed result.I ran it a second
time,as is customary,and CWS Trojan.2 attempted to shut
it down...
There is no entry in the hosts file causing redirects.Ad-
Aware,a-squared,nor any of the battery of armaments I
have at my disposal can touch it.They can't even detect
it.
Running XP SP 2 RC 1 Beta.About to reinstall.Hope this
report was useful to someone,somewhere.
