annoying searchweb2.com toolbar thingy

[SkaGirl]

Well I seem to be having the same problem that a lot of other people are having; my homepage is being hijacked and this little pop-up/searchbar type thing shows up on the bottom of my screen everytime I start IE. I also have an annoying toolbar that I can't get rid of! It's called 'beepsurf' in the toolbar menu and it reappears everytime I access a new webpage.
I've used Ad-Aware, Spybot, SpywareBlaster, CWShredder and HijackThis, and nothing seems to work, although I'm never sure what to delete based on the HijackThis log....

I would definitely appreciate some help with this, because it's starting to get very frustrating....
Here's my latest HijackThis log:

I also notice a lot of yahoo related stuff in the log, and I'd like to get rid of that as well since i don't use Yahoo Messenger. I was just wondering if it's safe to delete those files?

Thank you

Hi Jessica.

Yes, it is, but remove the application from the ADD/Remove Programs utility in the Control Panel. The Yahoo stuff could also be elements of a Yahoo toolbar.

Go ahead and remove from your Toshiba laptop the one's I've left visible in my quote also. I've tried to narrow it down to the trivial, useless or crapware. Removing these is, of course, done at your own risk. You may want to reasearch them individually to make sure you don't need them. Google is your friend here.


I'm not sure about the the following, not enough info to say:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\TDispVol.exe
C:\PROGRA~1\CAKESO~1\Platformeggs.exe
...
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Int ernet Settings,ProxyOverride = 127.0.0.1

[TripleRLtd]

C:\PROGRA~1\CAKESO~1\Platformeggs.exe
Please check this one by right clicking the file and choosing properties. Then click on Version and tell us what you see listed there. Also, the other files in that folder if you will.
Adept: looks like that TDispVol has to do with Toshiba's on screen display: don't delete it!!!
How do you connect to the internet Skagirl?
Must you use a proxy? Are you in college. If so, you may want to check with the admin, but the proxy override shouldn't be there otherwise, unless a previous "fix" did this.

Hello. I too am having this problem. It appears yet another varient of the Lop hijacker, so i followed all instructions i could find for other versions. I have run Spybot and Ad-Aware...etc. and got rid of all crap, but nothing works. Ive tried resetting my browser homepage but it gets reset when i reboot. Here is my hijackThis log:

Did that answer your question, SkaGirl?

[SkaGirl]

Okay, so here's the deal with C:\PROGRA~1\CAKESO~1\Platformeggs.exe

It's in a folder called 'CakeSoapPeak'. The other files in this folder are : BoltDead.exe, window.exe, nkltrqnl.exe, and pqrtlzzp.exe

I went into properties for each of these files, and there's no 'Version' to click, so I don't know what that means.

I also discovered two other suspicious looking folders.
-The first folder is called Coalstarthtm and it contains the files: 29051.exe, Tick Dupe.dll, and SetupStupid.bin.
-The second folder is called two doesstarthtm and it contains the file SetupStupid.bin

Also, i deleted everything a d e p t instructed me to, except for the Microsoft Office file, and the quicktime files, just because i wasn't sure whether i should delete those or not... however, the next time i started up my computer, lo and behold, my 'handy' little search bar was back, so i don't know what else to do.

As for your question about how i connect to the net TripleR, I'm at home and I have cable internet, but we use a router of some sort so all the computers are connected... i don't know if this has anything to do with proxy, but hopefully that helps.

Anyways, I thought I'd post another HijackThis log so you can give me some more feedback. Here it is:

[TechZ]

the first thing to do when a new member joins is recommend AV/Firewall/Spyware Cleaner, it would save everybody alot of time and help alot of ppl

[dunkster]

I have up to date AV/Firewall/ and Spyware cleaners. That is why i have asked for further assitance here. Any help you can give will be much apreciated.

Some of these may come back and more aggressive measures may be necessary. I also suggest you go to http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ and run the online scan.

In addition, many of these look suspicious. If you didn't install them, go ahead and remove them. If it turns out you need them, they will reinstall anyway.

@dunkster

I'll take that one then while I know Noo's 'busy' - there's a 'sticky' in this forum {the only one on the site ! How to fix popups, spyware, malware and nuisance programs} (which still needs work - but its on various folks piles of 'things to do' I can assure you ) which addresses 'basic troubleshooting of malware' in an attempt to get this 'deluge' of tremendously long & time consuming HijackThis logs down to a more manageable size.

So I'd suggest that when the need arises you refer them to that, & then we don't get any mis-interpretation of 'help offered'
