Full Version: Recurring CWS.SearchX -- nothing works! Help?
Gladiator Security Forum > Malware Help Forum > HELP! Think you are Infected?
awtry
I'm not the first to have this problem, but in seeing all of the warnings about not using fixes that worked for others, I figured you bright folks could help me out.

I've got CWS.SearchX; A nasty bugger that keeps recurring. I've tried everything -- updated Ad-aware and Spybot S&D don't get rid of it, and CoolWeb Shredder only ditches it for a day or so. It always comes back.

Manually, I can go in and fix it using a combination of shredder and Hijack This, but I'm getting awfully tired of living this way -- I'm really close to a clean format and install. ... unless someone here can give me a leg up. I'm reasonably technically proficient, so I'm really bugged by this recurring piece of nastiness. I waited until re-infection so I could post my hijackthis log below.

Any help would be REALLY appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Log follows (a couple of the weird entries are for my force feedback Logitech mouse):

Hello awtry,

Adaware has two updates today that include Coolwebsearch. Try updated Adaware and scan and see it finds anything new first (with the following settings and do the scan in safe mode)

Just open Adaware and click on *Check for Updates Now* and then *Connect*. It will find a new reference-file. Click *ok* and let it download and install the updates by clicking on *Finish* .This will return you to the main screen. You should now see Reference File # : 01R329 06.07.2004 or higher listed.

In Ad-aware click the Gear icon to go to the Settings area.

The following items should be on a green check, not on a red X.

Under the Scanning button:

Scan within archives

Under Memory & Registry, Check EVERYTHING

In Check Drives & Folders, make sure all of your hard drives are selected

Under the Advanced button, check ALL under Log detail level (this makes it easier for visitors to the Lavasoft Support Forums to see what options you have selected should you require assistance.)

Under the Tweak button...

Some of these may not be an available option, depending on your version of Ad-aware and your version of Windows. Do not be concerned if you cannot select a certain item.

In Scanning Engine:

Unload recognized processes during scanning


Include info about ignored objects in logfile, if detected in scan

Include basic Ad-aware settings in logfile

Include additional Ad-aware settings in logfile

Include used command line parameters in logfile

In Cleaning Engine:

XP/2000: Allow unloading explorer to unload shell extensions prior to deletion

Let Windows remove files in use at next reboot

UNCHECK: Automatically try to unregister objects prior to deletion

Click Proceed to save these settings.

Don't scan yet, please. We need to do the next steps in SAFE MODE, so please copy these instructions so you have them handy since you will probably not be able to get online in safe mode.

Now, Reboot into safe mode (instructions included in case you need them.
How to start the computer in Safe mode
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgen...src=sec_doc_nam

Open Adaware, Press *scan now* and put a dot in the box next to *use Custom scanning options*, then click *Next* to start your scan.

Checkmark any items found after scanning to remove (this will actually put them in quarantine and can recover from backup if any should not be removed).

Reboot your PC after cleaning with Adaware and scan again. Repeat the process until no further items are found as bad.
..............................
Next do this:
Download FindnFix.exe from here: http://freeatlast100.100free.com/index.html

Double Click on the FindnFix.exe and it will install the batch file in its own folder.

Open the FindnFix folder and double click on !LOG!.bat
IMPORTANT! Before you run this tool please close ALL running programs and ALL open windows except for the FindnFix folder.

Please wait while the program collects the necessary information.

*NOTE:If your AntiVirus is running a scriptblocker, when you run this tool, you will probably receive an alert warning you that the script is running. "Allow" the script to run.

When the program is finished:

Open the FindnFix folder.
1. Post the contents of Log.txt in this thread.
2. Attach file Win.txt to the same post. (Please attach the file, do not paste in the text as you did for the log.txt). Just scroll down to the section labled *File Attachments* on the left side below the reply window. Browse to the file Win.txt and highlight it, then press *Open*. Next press *Add reply* and the file will be attached automatically :)

Please also include the latest Adaware scan log too :)



Scan once more with Hijackthis and don't remove anything yet in the log. Post it back here so we can see what may remain to be fixed :)

I was in the process of writing how great you folks were (after I'd completed your steps) when Scotty popped up to tell me all of the stuff was coming back. You're still great, but better if you can make this all go away for good. Here are the things you asked for (and, warning -- this is a long, long post):

Ok, great! We aren't done yet. That log gives me the name of the hidden dll causing the reinfection. We'll get rid of it first and then can clean up the rest.

Open the FindnFix folder.
Open the keys1 folder.

If you receive an error while trying to edit, see below for instructions.

RightClick on the MOVEit.bat file, select--> edit.
Copy and paste this line into the batch file, replacing the line there.

move %WinDir%\System32\ms.dll %SystemDrive%\junkxxx\ms.dll

Save the file and close.

(Get ready to restart!)
Still in the keys1 folder, double click on FIX.bat.
You will get an alert of ~20 secs before reboot.
Allow it to reboot!

On restart, Open the FindnFix folder.
DoubleClick on RESTORE.bat.
When it is finished, open the FindnFix folder.
Post the contents of Log1.txt in this thread.

=== In the Event an Error Occurs Trying to Edit ===
Occasionally when trying to edit the MOVEit.bat file the following error occurs: "Windows cannot find "C:FINDnFIX\keys1\MOVEit.bat. Make sure you typed the name correctly then try again."

If that happens, please open Notepad or Wordpad. Choose *file* and then *open* the MOVEit.bat file and then you can replace the line as instructed above.

You are such a workhorse! I can't thank you enough! Hope we're doing this OK so far; here's the result of the newest findnfix log (did you want that jibberish at the end?):

Open the FindnFix folder.
Open the Files2 folder.
Double Click on the ZIPZAP.bat.

It will quickly clean the rest and will make a copy of the bad file(s) in the same folder (junkxxx.zip) and open your email client with instructions.

Simply drag and drop the junkxxx.zip file from the folder into the mail message and submit to the specified addresses.

Please be sure to include a link to your log file in the email.

When done, please delete the entire FindnFix folder as it now has contained the infected files and should be disposed.

Run CWShredder and Adaware (check for the latest updates first!). Then reboot and post a fresh HijackThis Log, please :)

Yes, I think you are clean now flowerz.gif

Now that your PC is clean, make sure all programs are running properly and then you'll need to reset your restore point in Windows XP.......why?

One of the best features of Windows ME or XP is the System Restore option, however if a malware infects a computer with this operating system it can be backed up in the System Restore folder. Therefore, clearing the restore points is necessary after malware removal.

To reset your restore points, please note that you will need to log into your computer with an account which has full administrator access. You will know if the account has administrator access because you will be able to see the System Restore tab. If the tab is missing, you are logged in under a limited account.

(winXP)

1. Turn off System Restore.
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

2. Reboot.

3. Turn ON System Restore.
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
UN-Check *Turn off System Restore*.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

I also highly recommend to get the free tool, Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) from Microsoft to analyze your PC security for prevention purposes.

MBSA Version 1.2 will scan for common system misconfigurations on Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 systems. This program will identify the system security weaknesses in your browser and operating system and provides easy instructions to correct them. This includes any missing critical Windows security updates, system vulnerabilities and your IE Browser security settings. Get the download here:

You might also consider an alternative browser and use IE only when needed for sites that require ActiveX and are trusted (like Windows update or the online virus scanners). I use Firefox for 99% of my everyday surfing (using it right now in fact). It's free and very easy to setup, understand and use without many of the vulnerabilities that IE has. Or feel free to search around for info on other alternative browsers.
