Wbhook32.dll

[Guest]

When closing Internet explorer I get a message saying that
It encountered a problem and must be shut down, it has a
box with a check in it asking to close and restart. If I
select close with the box checked it restarts with a home
page I did not salect. About:Blank is the page that has
imbedded itself as my home page. No matter what I try to
change it to is gets replased. So, anyway when shutting
explorer down I also get this failure message 0000006H
module WBHOOK32.DLL @0167:02e57ddf.
Can someone tell me how to resolve this?

You've been hijacked, quite possibly by a variant of the CoolWebSearch
parasite. Possibly the CWS.Aboutblank variant
(http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/cwschronicles.html#aboutblank)

Download and run CWShredder
(http://www.zerosrealm.com/downloads/CWShredder.zip or
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip) which is the best
way of getting rid of the many forms of the CoolWebSearch hijacker details
of
which can be found at http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/cwschronicles.html
and also http://www.pestpatrol.com/pestinfo/c/cws.asp..

This would be a good time to download yourself a copy of the free Ad-Aware
6.0 from Lavasoft (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/) and also
SpyBot Search & Destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org/) and use them to
check
your system for other commercial parasites remembering that they are only as
good as when you last updated their reference files. I also use a program
called
BHODemon (http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm that checks for
unwanted Browser Help Objects and SpywareBlaster
(http://www.wilderssecurity.net/spywareblaster.html) which can help prevent
some parasites getting a grip on your PC.

Hope this helps.
