BleepingComputer.com: Funwebproducts & Myway.mywebsearch - Unable To Remove Spyware/trojan

I have used almost every spyware program I can think of, restarted and have done scans galore. Spybot, Ad-Aware, Spyware Dr. (free version), Prevx(free), Norton 360 (registered). I usually just use spybot and that gets rid of the problem but this spyware/virus?? is nasty.

I finally am using HJT and posting to this site. I hopefully followed the instructions on posts and also the procedures on scanning, etc. I updated Windows but it did not need any real updates (I selected two optional software updates). On this machine, Norton 360 still has about 150 days to go and has it's firewall active. I've used PrevX's free scan...did not find anything. Only Spybot finds:

FunWebProducts
[SBI $B71E4FFD] Program directory
C:\Program Files\FunWebProducts\

MyWay.MyWebSearch
[SBI $51E6ABA2] Program directoy
C:\Program Files\MyWebSearch\

Right Media
Tracking cookie [Internet Explorer: ******]
Internt Explorer [******]: Cookie:*** ***@ad.yieldmanager.com/[]

****** - stands for a personal first & last name (omitted above)

I've used AFT-Cleaner to clean out all temp files, etc. Scanned with spybot and Ad-Aware. Ad-Aware found a bunch of cookies that I deleted. I am here including the HJT log as an attachment in the hopes of nipping this virus/spyware/trojan...whatever it is.

Thank you in advance!!!

We need to create an OTViewIt Report

• Please download OTViewIt by OldTimer.
  
• Save it to your desktop.
  
• Double click on the OTViewIT icon on your desktop.
  
• Click the "Scan All Users" checkbox.
  
• Click on the Run Scan button.
  
• Two reports will open, copy and paste them in a reply here:
  • OTViewIt.txt <-- Will be opened
    
  • Extra.txt <-- Will be minimized

If you have not downloaded HiJackThis yet:
Click here to download HJTInstall.exe

• Save HJTInstall.exe to your desktop.
  
• Doubleclick on the HJTInstall.exe icon on your desktop.
  
• By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis .
  
• Click on Install.
  
• It will create a HijackThis icon on the desktop.
  
• Once installed, it will launch Hijackthis.
  
• Click on the Do a system scan and save a logfile button. It will scan and the log should open in notepad.
  
• Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" to copy the entire contents of the log.
  
• Come back here to this thread and Paste the log in your next reply.
  
• DO NOT have Hijackthis fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.

In your reply:

• Fresh HJT log
  
• OTViewIt results

Thanks


Harry
