Coolwww

Problem:

My Pc has slowed down quite a bit. I was running avast for a while when I was on dial up, waiting for a better internet connection then I got high speed and updated my SBCyahoo software and it came with protection so I deleted avast.

Now my PC slows down and I run spybot S&D and it hangs up, I look at the bottom bar and I see COOLWWWsearchfeat2dill and a few other coolwww files. I realise its not suspose to be there and Spybot does not detect it.

I get pissed off and delete protection from Yahoo and there browser, than I delete firefox and motzilla. I upgrade IE. Still slow.

It has not taken over my browser but things are slow and I hear a mouse click every once in a while so I know theres something going on.

I search the internet and found this forum. I followed the instructions,ran all the programs recomended and found a few cookies and deleted them. but when it came to coolwww...nothing.

Now have both log files. Although nothing was found on one I saved it anyway as instructed. This has taken several hours I hope someone can help me.

well I guess you have my email address, Hopefully Im able to attach the files properly.

Your logs give no indication that your problem is releated to Malware. You do not have a CoolWebSearch infection.That is Spybot's Status Bar; which, display what Spybot's is currently looking for.

 

Ok,

Thanks for taking a look. Any Idea what I'm hearing?
Every few minutes I hear the sound of a mouse double clicking.

I just assumed that's what is slowing down everything.

Is it a mouse click or more like a clink-clank sound?

 

The sound i hear is "click click" the same sound I hear when I click on a link but twice in a row. Can you think of anything that causes that?

Thanks

 

Bear with me the questions I ask are to narrow down the problem.

Where does the sound come from, the speakers or the computer case?

 

I usally use a headset. This is a laptop. So I hear the sounds through the headset. Same sound as when I click on a link but twice, one right after the other.

 

Follow the directions for Running WinPfind by OldTimer.

Post the WinPFind.txt file when finished.
