    Hi, My computer has been overrun with spyware! I've dealt with spyware a lot, but never to this annoying of an extent. I've run Spybot, CWS shredder, AboutBuster, SpySubtract, SpywareBlaster, Ad-Aware SE personal, all of these in and out of safemode. This is to no avail. Please help! I've got no clue to go from here. The problem I'm experiencing is an IE-explorer redirect, and then crash "The instruction at "0x058a2e70" referenced at "0x0f8a2e70". The memory could not be "read". I'm almost possitive that this is a CWS variant, any ideas, I'm most appreciative for any help.

    To help us to best help you, please follow the steps below closely and in the order given and do not skip anything. If you have any difficulty, please post back letting us know what steps you have completed, what you found while doing the scans if anything along with details about any problems you may have encountered in completing the steps. The more details you can provide the better. Don't be afraid to ask for additional help if you don't understand something!

    - Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.

    - Very Important: Make sure you tell us the results from running the tutorial...was anything found? Were you unable to complete any of the scans?...Were you unable to download any of the tools?...Did you do the on-line scans as suggested? etc.


    After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem:

    - Download HijackThis 1.99.1

    - Unzip the hijackthis.exe file to a folder you create named C:\Program Files\HJT

    - Do NOT run Hijack This from the Desktop, a temp folder, or a sub-folder of C:\Documents and Settings, or choose to run it directly from the downloaded ZIP file.

    - Before running HijackThis: You must close each of the following:your web browser, e-mail client, instant messenger, and programs like notepad, wordpad, MS Word etc. And any other unnecessary running programs.

    - Run HijackThis and save your log file.
