Hope you are watching this thread, I really appreciate all the help. And now: The Plot Thickens I DL'ed F-Prot DOS as suggested, but when run from command prompt it skips C drive entirely. So I used my copy of Hiren's Boot Disk to access a DOS prompt on system boot. I found my new copy of...

Thank you diogenes10. It's taking a little longer than I like, I have a rambunctious 4 year old ready for lunch. I am searching for xplugin.dll now.

Can anybody tell me how to contact the people at CoolWWWSearch, or know where they are located? If I get names, I'll bring them back to share.

No, I did get that entry diogenes10. I think it had to do with Spybot, because when I tried to start it again, it did not go into a startup scan, so that was good. But when I tried to do a system scan, it shut down again (the system just suddenly shuts off, no warning). I am about to try the...

Hi diogenes10, I did, but it did not find anything.

Don't know how to reply to you carrr, except here. A funny thing happened when I dl'ed the file. I put it on my desktop, where I have the other version of CWShredder. When I opened it, a window popped up that said something like "CWShredder has encountered an instance of CoolWWWSearch trying...

Couple more points... 1) My comp does seem to have slowed down to a degree, though mainly since I started trying to figure this thing out. 2) The Merijin site just stays a blank white screen. The address bar is not redirected. I just have the gut feeling this is coolsearch bug, but maybe it's a...

I'm the guy whose computer just suddenly shuts off any time I use NAV in a detailed scan mode (not a smartscan). Same thing when I use Panda's online scan, or any other online scan, reg healer scan, or Spybot S&D. I was directed to the sight for Hijack This, and CWShredder by some of you techies...

Thanks for all the help. The direct link to CWShredder won't connect, so I did a google and went to a mirror. Got the program and it doesn't find anything, but... when I click on update, it connects, and just sits there. it has been fetching for 15 minutes now. Hmmm... I might finally have a...

Thanks for the tip. I downloaded the Klez removal tool from Norton and ran it, but it said Klez was not found. This thing just kills all power any time I run certain scans. This happens when I run online virus scans, Spybot S&D, reghealer, and when I try to remove Spybot via Cleansweep...

cause sudden system shutdown. NAV onboard can't detect a problem. Thought I had it isolated to C:/Windows/i386 folder. Nope! Klez??? This thing has me pulling my hair out! Has anybody else seen this happen? Have an idea of the prob? Sys hijacker? C2Lop?
