I will do some reseach and get back to you...What spyware/antivirus programs do you have already?
At first glance this one looks like a baddie I would suggest you start backing up anything important you have on your computer...but then you do that on a regualr basis like everyone is supposed to -- right?

My daughter installed McAffe Securty Center yesterday. It helped fix a few problems in my computer, but the hijacker is still in here. He just keeps morphing into another file. Spy Sweeper is working on it, but they don't have a solution as of yet. :( At least I can still read the forums, so far!! I seemed to have the hijacker after I opened two sites. One was looking up my blood pressure medicines, one was a site someone sent me about trails in the mountains. Be careful what you open! I hope this new McAffee program is a good one. BB

Hi
Go to this site, scroll to spyware/adware, there is a free program under "CWSshredder from InterMute" that might might help.
I supscripe to 'Kommando's' news letters, they have been very helpful.

good luck
Michael

Here is a link that might be useful: Help

Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.3 is a good FREE tool you can get it here:

I also use AVGs FREE virus protector you can get it here:

These have both worked well for me -- hopefully they will help you as well.

Thank you both so much, Michael and Lin. I think we have it licked!!! I downloaded Spybot, but it couldn't remove it either! My daughter bought McAfee Security Center, which seems like a very good program! But it could not remove CWS either. Michael, I went to that site and downloaded the CW Shredder and it knocked it right off my computer. Then we ran McAfee and found two trojans which it could then remove, and everything seems to be working as it should!! I am in the process of backing up my computer, Lin, and will keep a close eye on things from now on! Thanks again, guys! BB

yippppppeeeeeeee

Wheew!

There was an unforseen problem with that CWS virus/trojan? or what ever it was. When I got my phone bill, I had $14.00 added expense. Apparently, the thing had a dialer and there was an operator assisted long distance call on my bill. At first, the phone company said since it originated at my house, I had to pay it. But after much discussion, they said they would take it off. This is FRAUD on that virus's part. Anybody else run into this????? I think once I got CWS Shredder, it was removed, and I hope I don't have any more problems. This phone line does not even have a phone connected to it, only my computer, and I don't even have long distance enabled on it, but the call was made via my computer and was billed to me. I hate people who create this junk!!!!! BB
