Trying to hijack.....

[Angelfish316]

I have a problem with something trying to hijack my computer, and it won't take no for an answer!! I have Spyguard, and these are the three messages that keep coming up over and over again(like every 30 seconds):

Spyware guard protection alert

Warning! A BHO has been added!
The following BHO has been added to your system:
{87766247-311C-43B4-8499-3D5FEC94A183}
ProgID: n/a
File location: C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\WinTools\WToolsB.dll

What would you like to do?
Remove the BHO Keep the BHO


Warning! Your IE search bar has been changed!
Your Internet Explorer current user search bar has been changed from http://www.google.com/ie to http://www.websearch.com/ie.aspx?tb_id=40

What would you like to do?
Restore old value? Keep new value?

Warning! Your IE search assistant has been changed! Your Internet Explorer local machine search assistant has been changed from http://www.microsoft.com/isapi/redir.dl ... r=iesearch to http://www.websearch.com/ie.aspx?tb_id=40

And then sometimes I'll get this weird thing in my toolbar on the bottom that says something like permission.dll and I can't get rid of it unless I reboot. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi...
Download and run HiJackThis:
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/HijackThis.exe

Create a permanent Folder ...say in MyDocuments...call HJT
This is where HJT will save BackUps.
Run the app...save the LogFile...open it with Notepad
Copy the entire HJT LogFile and Paste it here in this post.
The Forums HJT Log expert will instruct you on what to remove.
Don't remove anything as most entries are legit.

updater
MyWay or MySearch or MyBar
WinTools
Support.com

Now delete these Folders or Files that are Highlighted: (You may need enable "Show all Files" and disable "Hide System Files" in Windows Explorer / Tools / Folder Options / View Tab) (You may have to boot to "Safe Mode" in order to delete some Files/Folders)

C:\Program Files\MyWay

C:\Program Files\Common files\updater

Now, empty your TEMP Folder / Temporary Internet Files Folder and then empty your "Recycle Bin" and reboot.

Ok, I did everything that you said, now I guess I'll see if it happens again or not. When I rebooted, and it came back up, there were three Spyware guard alerts again, but these were different and this time it actually acknowledged that I wanted to restore the old values. Hopefully this is it. Thanks for all your help, and I'll keep you posted.
