    - Hope this may be of some help to those with coolwebsearch issues Yesterday while surfing I noticed my modem clicking. I don't use the = modem for Internet connection I only use it for FAX service. Anyway I = knew something was wrong. In the Task Manager Windows 2000 this file = was running: dale.exe This file has no Version tab in properties and thus is suspect. It is = 27KB about the size of the NETSKY virus and variants. It has an = accompanying dll called 2.01.00.dll. The name is not important here. = It is a self-registering dll so yiou can remove its information from the = registry using this command in command prompt in the folder where it = resides (%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\services) regsvr32 /u 2.01.00.dll <ENTER> | OK <OK> That should be the very first step. Once that is done you can End the = Process of dale.exe in the Task Manager. But there is still a long way = to go before you've cleaned out this coolwebsearch hijack. Next get Merlin's CWShredder. That will fix the Windows Media Player 9 = whose executable is replaced by this worm. Also the other files in the = above services folder (which you should not have there) are: crontab.ini keywords.ini sl.ini titles.ini wmplayer.exe (the worm) You will also find the above executable called in the Registry in these = keys: HKCR\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run (remove the call to the executable on right) Also it infests win.ini. CWShredder will find that and take care of it. Still not done. At this point you have to make sure that your dllcache is replenished = with bona fide files. This is a smart worm and the developers have gone = to great lengths to make sure you overlook something. To replensish the = dllcache you insert your Windows 2000 (in my case) CD-ROM go to the = command prompt and type: sfc /purgecache /scannow The last switch is only necessary in Windows 2000 Professional. Now you have a new dllcache and you should be able to fire up the other = Spyware catchers you have: Adaware 6 BHODemon HijackThis Rebooting during this process when significant changes are made should = get everything back to normal. Oh I forgot. You also have to reinstall = Windows Media Player 9. If you are in XP I'm not sure what to do = here... And one last caveat. If you are using Windows 2000 SP3 then sfc will = break your system. You need to get qfecheck.exe and determine with that = what Hotfixes you need to reapply. Watch out for HTML Help breaking and = you might need to reinstall Windows Messaging if you use it.

    - email scanning norton not scanning/ zonealarm2 fault?

I have noticed that as from about 2 wks ago Norton is no longer scanning my email either (Norton 2003 in my case). It says it IS scanning the email but it appears to be telling porkies because the little scan window no longer shows and for the first time in ages I have started receiving attachments from people I don't know (I can't be sure they're viruses because I am not opening them to find out, but it is odd). I've even tried completely re-installing Norton but the situation remains unchanged. The only thing I changed recently which might conceivably have an impact is that I updated my ZoneAlarm firewall to the latest version. This version monitors suspicious email code itself (although not viruses) AND monitors the AV software to make sure it is behaving itself and is up to date. Could this be causing some sort of invisible conflict? LiveUpdate still works and complete system scans appear to show the system remains uninfected. Adaware has done it's customary spring clean of dodgy data miners etc but basically also drawn a blank on anything seriously amiss. . Tag: can't install winPatrol Tag: 55634

    - Power users group I have two issues. I have laptops in the field running windows 2000. We use them for diagnostics on forklifts. The first problem is how do I change the security of the power users group to allow hardware to auto install when they plug the diagnostic cables into the usb port? The second problem is when I plug the cable in(it is a serial to usb adapter)it finds a com port. The com port it finds is usually higher than 2. The diagnostic software needs com 1 or 2. I can go into device manager and change this setting, but next time the cable is plugged into the usb port it happens again. I don't want my users going into device manager and playing around. Would appreciate any help into this matter. Stephen Tag: can't install winPatrol Tag: 55627

    - Possible for someone to hack in and change my password? Hello, I got into a bit of an email disagreement tonight with a spammer...admittedly very stupid on my part. Coincidently, my password for messenger quit working and the message came up that my messenger had been accessed from another computer. After going through a few different links, I was finally able to get one to work that let me change my password. I was using my hotmail email address to "talk" to the spammer. I'm wondering if it's at all possible that this person somehow got into my hotmail & msn messenger account? He claimed to be very knowledgable about computers and although, I'm fairly sure most of it was bunk, it left me wondering.... Other than learning to keep my mouth (fingers?) shut....can anyone offer any advice. Is what I'm worried about even possible? If so, should I abandon my current address all together and get a new one? Thanks.... Dru Tag: can't install winPatrol Tag: 55590

Also, even if I go out and buy a CD Writer, how will I know that copying these files to CD will just replicate this worm onto the cd so that I will be back to square one?

    - Nasty Spyware I've got some spyware on my computer and it seems impossible to remove. I've run McAfee AntiSpyware, Lavasoft Adaware, and Spybot. All of them removed files, but none of them fixed the problem I am having. The problem is I get popup ads every once in a while when I either open or close Internet Explorer. If I open and close Internet Explorer ten times, I am guaranteed to get the popups at least once. I've got my homepage set to Yahoo. The popups are random ads for random products. I know the site that infected my computer. It is www.iband.com. I clicked on a link for those damn smiley faces which pointed to this "iband" site and my computer immediately started going nuts. I would recommend that you do not go to this site unless you really know what you're doing. Anyways, does anybody know how to get rid of this spyware? Thanks for any help.

    - Critical Security Update I am using Win98se (and IE6sp1) and on 6/15/04 I downloaded Critical Security Update MSXML 3.0 2/13/2002 and today (6/22/04) I downloaded another Critical Security Update Win98 MS02-014 3/7/2002. My question is: why are these two Critical Security Updates which are dated back in 2002 just coming up as Critical Update downloads now? Thank you. Tag: can't install winPatrol Tag: 55494

I have a Gateway 400 notebook with XP.
When I try and install winPatrol I get an error message
saying the InstallShield had a problem.
Does anyone know how to install winPatrol in this
configuration?

Thanks,
Bob Blum
