Thanks for all the info. I have a friend that is having serious problems with his pc now. I have tried the usula tools and none of these have worked. When he tries to access his emails (hotmail) the page begins to open then closes straight away. I have ran spy sweeper and he has two different adware programs adlogix and websearch toolbar, amongst others. Is there anyone who recognises these and knows of a fix? I have installed: spybot search and destroy spy sweeper noadware bhodemon 2 ad-aware se When I ran ad-aware se there were a lot of problem programmes, all deleted. When I went to look on this page and create a user name for my friend I had to disconnect from the web as it threw up over 60 pop ups and wouldn't stop.

Adam, many thanks for the help, I downloaded the cwshredder and ran the program. This cleared the problem (I hope) and my browser has been working correctly now for a while. The only problem I encountered was that once I had ran the cwshredder was when I came here to login or when logging into internet email, I was asked to connect to the page, but only the once. Again, many thanks for your help and advice.

Hi can anyone help, please. I am having real problems with the cws hijack trojan. I have read the earlier threads, and tried to follow them, however I can't download the hijackthis spyware. I am currently using Webroot Spy Sweeper which is telling me that this trojan is trying to constantly change my web page. I have downloaded bhodemon 2 and noadware and these haven't managed to delete the trojan. I use Norton Anti virus and the definitons are up to date. The problem I have as I say is that when my pc boots up, this trojan tries to change my explorer settings to about:blank. Spy Sweeper picks this up and I can change it back without any problems. When I try to access hotmail or yahoo mail, the page loads, but within seconds the page changes to some white pages search and find, etc. If anyone can tell me an easy step by step, program to download, etc, I would be very much indebted to you.
