Search200 menu

[LennyM]

Hi,

Another one hijacked by that Search200 bar. It's an ugly search bar at the bottom of my screen. Below is the hijack this log.

Any help in eliminating this would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks,

Greetings, and welcome to TSF!

Please print out or copy this page to Notepad. Make sure to work through the fixes in the exact order it is mentioned below. If there's anything that you don't understand, ask your question(s) before proceeding with the fixes. You should 'not' have any open browsers when you are following the procedures below.

Go to My Computer->Tools/View->Folder Options->View tab and make sure that 'Show hidden files and folders' (or 'Show all files') is enabled. Also make sure that 'Display the contents of system folders' is checked. If you have Windows XP, the search feature is a little different. When you click on 'All files and folders' on the left pane, click on the 'More advanced options' at the bottom. Make sure that 'Search system folders', 'Search hidden files and folders', and 'Search subfolders' are checked.

For the options that you checked/enabled earlier, you may uncheck them after your log is clean. If we ask you to fix a program that you use or want to keep, please post back saying that (we don't know every program that exists, so we may tell you to delete a program that we think is bad to keep).


===============

Download, unzip to your desktop CWShredder and run it, then:

1. Click "Check For Update"

(If an update isn't available, skip to step #4.)

2. Click "Click here to Download the upate".
3. When the new version has been downloaded, click "Save".
4. Click "Fix ->"


===============

Let's look for, and delete, any program segments(prefetches) that might be present, and are associated with the 'problems' we're trying to remove from this system. To do this, let's:

1) Click "Start | Search", then search for each of these program's base name(s), in all files and folders:

HbSrv.exe*

2) Then if any are found in the 'prefetch' folder, delete them.

Look closely, since the 'base' name will have a bunch of random numbers and letters attached to it.

===============

Go to Add/Remove programs and remove(uninstall) the following, if present:

MyWebSearch

The above could appear anywhere within the entry. Be careful not to remove any personal or system software.

===============

Next, we need to remove(uninstall) the 'lop' infection by going to here, then downloading and running the uninstaller(s) that relate to the application(s) your wanting to remove. The following selections are available: "Start page", "Search engine", "Accessories Toolbar".

After uninstalling any (or all) of the above, let's see if we have anything in "Scheduled Tasks":

Download, unzip and run ScheduledTasks.bat (courtesy of ddeerrff), and when notepad comes up, post the contents back to this thread.

===============

Run HiJackThis then:

1. Click "Config..."
2. Click "Misc Tools"
3. Click "Open Process manager"

-

Next, while holding down the CTRL key, locate (if present) and click on (highlight) each of the following:

C:\PROGRA~1\MYWEBS~1\bar\3.bin\mwsoemon.exe
C:\Program Files\Hotbar\Bin\4.6.1.0\WeatherOnTray.exe
C:\Program Files\Hotbar\Bin\4.6.1.0\HbOEAddOn.exe
C:\Program Files\Hotbar\Bin\4.6.1.0\HbSrv.exe

Now double-check and make sure that only those item(s) above are highlighted, then click "Kill process". Now, click "Refresh", check again, and repeat this step if any remain.

===============

Now, let's open a command prompt and unregister the dll(s) we're going to remove, by entering the following:

regsvr32 /u MWSSRCAS.DLL
regsvr32 /u MWSBAR.DLL
regsvr32 /u ShprRprt.dll
regsvr32 /u HbHostIE.dll

It's ok, if these aren't found or 'error' out. If you want, just copy and paste the individual lines to the command prompt to save on the typing.

===============

Run HiJackThis and click "Scan", then check(tick) the following, if present:

Now, with all windows closed except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".

===============


When your done, rescan your system and make sure the following isn't present:

N3 - Netscape ... 5CSBWeb_01.src (or) 5CSBWeb_02.src

If it is, then fix that entry again; sometimes it'll take more than one pass. The actual entry is ok, and won't be deleted, it's the java wrapper marked in red that needs to be removed.

===============

Locate and delete the following item(s), if present. Make sure your able to view system and hidden files/ folders:

Note that some of these file(s) may or may not be present. If present, and cannot be deleted because they're 'in use', try deleting them from "Safe Mode".

Post back a new log, and let us know how everything goes.

Hi,

Thanks for the procedure. Went thru it yesterday but Searchbar is still there. Was unable to delete certain files so rebooted in "Safe mode" to try to delete them. Problem is this is on my computer at work, they make us change our password every couple of months. In safe mode, it requires a password. Tried all the one I can remember to no avail!!!!

Will run thru full procedure again today. Will post results.

BTW, the file I couldn't delete: C:\doc + set\All users\App...Data\Dumb..\balmbin.exe


Thanks again for the help!!!

Hi again,

Ran thru procedure once more and the Searchbar is still still. The only file I couldn't remove was "balmbin.exe" in the "All Users" directory. Think this would still cause the problem?

BTW, it did remove the weather bug from the task bar...

thanks

It could be related.

Download KillBox http://www.greyknight17.com/spy/KillBox.exe. Run KillBox and check the box that says 'End Explorer Shell While Killing File'. Next click on 'Delete on Reboot'. For each of the following files below, check the box that says 'Unregister .dll Before Deleting' if it's not grayed out. Copy and paste each of the following into KillBox (hitting the X button for each file - choose NO when it asks if you want to reboot):

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Dumb safe vc multi\balm bin.exe

Restart into Normal mode, run a new scan and post up the results.

Hi,

Got to work this morning and needed to reboot my computer. When I started up IE, guess what, no search menu!!!! I'm pretty sure I rebooted the other day after running thru the procedure a second time. Anyway, that balmbin executable was still there so I downloaded "Killbox" and ran thru the above instructions. After reboot, it not only removed the executable but a positive side effect was that it eliminated all the junk links from my "Favorites" list. GREAT!!!!
All appears to be well for now!!!

THANKS FOR ALL THE ASSISTANCE AND THE TIMELY RESPONSE TO MY QUESTIONS!!!!!
