Yikes!! Search bar has taken over IE...

An unknown toolbar has crept into my system and installed itself on my IE 6.
I can't identify this one and when I ran adaware se 1.06, it found several entries of coolwebsearch. I "removed" this stuff, ran adaware again and it found nothing else, but the searchbar is still on my IE... maybe you can identify it and let me know how i can remove it:


It has locked out my separator so I can't adjust my ie toolbar to reopen my address window which is no longer available.
Clicking "remove toolbar" does nothing. very frustrating.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you may be able to offer.

update

Just a quick follow up...
I found an obscure link which helped me remove the "theQuickLink" toolbar:
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/toolbarcop.htm
None of my adware/spyware/virus removal tools could get rid of this PEST.
But I am left with the inabilitly to check mark my "address bar" which is currently unchecked in IE and I cannot access anything but "customize".
Is there another something I need to do/get rid of?
Please help.
Thanks.
Mike

Hello wontgetlost and welcome to TSF,

Please print out or copy this page to Notepad since you will not have any of browsers open while you are fixing this. 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. Again, you should not have any open browsers when you are following the procedures below.

Go to My Computer->Tools->Folder Options->View tab:
* Under the Hidden files and folders heading, select Show hidden files and folders.
* Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
* Click Yes to confirm and then click OK.

Download CleanUp! (Alternate Link if main link doesn't work) and install it. Do not run it yet.

Download CWShredder at http://www.greyknight17.com/spy/CWShredder.exe and run it. Click on 'I Agree' button if you agree. Click on 'Fix' (it will automatically fix anything it finds for you) and then click OK. If it asks if you want to delete a certain random file, choose No and post that filename here. Let it finish the scan and then hit Next and Exit.

Next, please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following:
1) Restart your computer
2) After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
3) Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
4) Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.

Go into Hijack This->Config->Misc. Tools->Open process manager. Select the following and click “Kill process” for each one if they are still listed (they shouldn't be - but double check it):(You must kill them one at a time).

C:\PROGRAM FILES\SPYSPOTTER3\SPYSPOTTER.EXE
C:\PROGRAM FILES\SPYSPOTTER3\DEFENDER.EXE


Uninstall the following via the Add/Remove Panel (Start->(Settings)->Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs) if they exist:

SPYSPOTTER3 --it’s rogueware (or known to be rogueware in the past) and we highly recommend that you uninstall it. Rogue/Suspect means that these products are of unknown, questionable, or dubious value as anti-spyware protection.

Run a scan in HijackThis. Check each of the following and hit 'Fix checked' (after checking them) if they still exist (make sure not to miss any):

R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = file:///c:/c/home.htm
O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - -{08BEC6AA-49FC-4379-3587-4B21E286C19E} - (no file)


CleanUp! deletes EVERYTHING out of your temp/temporary folders, it does not make backups. If you have any documents or programs that are saved in any Temporary Folders, please make a backup of these before running CleanUp!.

Open Cleanup! by double-clicking the icon on your desktop (or from the Start > All Programs menu). Set the program up as follows:
*Click "Options..."
*Move the arrow down to "Custom CleanUp!"
*Put a check next to the following:
-Empty Recycle Bins
-Temporary Internet Files
-Delete Cookies
-Delete Prefetch files
-[X]Scan local drives for temporary files (Please uncheck this option)
-Cleanup! All Users
Click OK
Press the CleanUp! button to start the program. Reboot/logoff when prompted.

Reboot into Normal Mode.

Perform an online scan using Internet Explorer with Panda ActiveScan - requires Internet Explorer

  1. Click on the Scan your PC button & a 'pop up' window shall appear. * ensure that your pop up blocker doesn't block it
  2. Click On 'Scan Now'
  3. Enter your e-mail address & click 'Scan Now' ...begins downloading Panda's ActiveX controls.- 8MB
  4. Begin the scan by selecting My Computer
    * You needn't remain online while it's doing the scan but you have to re-connect after it has finished to see the report.
  5. If it finds any malware, it will offer you a report. Click on see report
  6. Then click Save report
  7. Post the contents of the report in your next reply
* Turn off the real time scanner of any existing antivirus program while performing the online scan

update...

Thanks very much for your reply Ried.
I followed your directions. I removed the "HijackThis" entries you specified, I ran Cleanup! And I did the Panda Active Scan.
CW shredder is for the CoolWebSearch toolbar... however, what was on my system was the "TheQuickLink" toolbar which is much more nasty since it takes away your ability to use your address bar and it disables the rest of your IE toolbar too. Even though I've disabled the "TheQuickLink" toolbar, I can't do anything with my IE toolbar:


I reinstalled IE6, and even overwrote the newer files with the older ones.
That didn't work.
I'm thinking there must be a wicked registry entry or a missing/corrupted dll file gumming up the works.
Any ideas on this?
Thanks again in advance for any help you could offer.
Here's the result of the Panda Active Scan:

Please print out these instructions for reference as you will have to restart your computer during the fix. An internet connection is required as the installer will need to download other files during the fix.

Please download & save on Desktop - KillBox v2.0.0.175.exe (it's important that you get version v2.0.0.175)

Please download & Install - FixWareout.exe

When you reach the final page of the installation process, make sure "Run fixit" is checked.
Follow the on-screen prompts & reboot your computer when instructed to do so.

**Do not be alarmed if your computer takes longer than usual to load.

After you have restarted, wait for HijackThis to launch automatically.
Please click Scan, and check the following items:

O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\VxD\MSTCP: NameServer = 69.50.177.202,85.255.112.23

Click Fix Checked. Close HijackThis, and click OK to proceed.


Launch KillBox.exe & select the following options:
  • delete on Reboot
  • end Explorer shell while killing file
  • unregister dlll before deleting * if it's not grayed out
Select all the filenames below & then right-click & select Copy
  • C:\WINDOWS\Favorites\Kill Annoying Popups.url

closure...

I'm happy to update this thread with good news...
The most recent definitions for Adaware resolved my problem.
Whatever was diabling my toolbar functionality got corrected. The following are the most likely candidates:

WINDOWS
»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»
obj[16]=RegData : .DEFAULT\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\policies\explorer "NoBandCustomize"

COULOMB DIALER
»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»
obj[18]=File : c:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MACROMED\Shockwave 8\xtras\download\TheGrooveAlliance\3DGrooveXtrav18\Groove.x32

Not sure which one it was, but had to be one of them.
Anyway, I hope someone goes after whoever created "TheQuickLink".. it's a NASTY one.

Thanks for all the support and help here on this forum :sayyes:

It was the first one (regarding the policy - NoBandCustomize) that most likely caused that problem you had.
