Re: Internet-Computer-Forum-Problem
Hallo, vielen Dank für die schnelle Info.
Das dies ein Pilzforum ist, weis ich bereits; bin seit fast 2 Jahren
als Teilnehmer schon mit dabei.
Mir wäre es viel lieber gewesen, du hättest es nicht so knapp gemacht -
es geht ja nicht um Sendezeit.
Leider habe ich absolut nichts verstanden. So ist das halt mit den
Graugrufties über 50.
Sorry.

Hallo Werner,
ich mach's knapp, schließlich ist das ein Pilzforum
Lade dir am besten das Programm Adaware runter (kostenlos). Updaten und dann
ausführen. Fertig!
Intruder: CoolWebSearch
Variants: This spyware is morphing at a rapid rate. Below, variants and their
estimated appearance date are listed in reverse chronological order.
DNSRelay.dll - August 7, 2003
Svchost32 - August 3, 2003
Oemsyspnp - July 29, 2003
Msspi.dll - July 28, 2003
Vrape - July 20, 2003
OSLogo.bmp - July 10, 2003
Bootconf - July 6, 2003
Datanotary - May 27, 2003
De#####ion: CoolWebSearch is a name given to a wide range of different
browser hijackers. The code is very different between variants, but all
are currently used to redirect users to coolwebsearch.com and other sites
affiliated with its operators. The alarming trend with this hijacker is
rapid metamorphosis and the increasing difficulty of removal. Some
documented behaviors associated with each variant include: DNSRelay.dll -
Implemented as an IE URL hook. Hijacks address bar search phrases as well
as any site name entered into the address bar without a leading 'http://'
or 'www' to search aimed at activexupdate.com (a CWS site redirecting
through yellow2.com to allhyperlinks.com).
Svchost32 - Hosts file hijacker that uses a laundering technique to avoid
detection by anti-hijacker tools. Targeted sites (Yahoo Search, MSN Search
and all countries' versions of Google) are set in the Hosts file to point
to 'localhost' (127.0.0.1). Because most local hosts are not running a web
server, this results in an error page that is hijacked to the CWS site
slawsearch.com.
Oemsyspnp - Hides inside the 'inf' folder usually used for storing device
driver information. Its hijacker file is run on each startup, using a
slightly different install command each time. Hijacks home page and search
settings to point at www.adulthyperlinks.com and www.allhyperlinks.com
and adds activexupdate.com to the IE 'Safe Sites' list.
Msspi.dll - Implemented as a Winsock2 Layered Service Provider. Hijacks
search results and targets Google, Yahoo and Altavista, offering popups
that advertised bogus enhanced results and leading to advertising from
unipages.cc.
OSLogo.bmp - IE start and search pages are changed to several dozen different
sites affiliated with CoolWebSearch. Over 80 domains that are known CWS
have appeared in users' logs.
Bootconf - Also employs a CSS stylesheet, but hijacks homepage and all search
settings to coolwebsearch.com. Site names are scrambled using URL-encoding
to make them difficult to read. Bootconf.exe is set to run on every
start-up, reestablishing the hijack. CoolWebSearch is added the IE 'Safe
Sites' list.
Datanotary - First known variant, hijacks to datanotary.com. Places a CSS
stylesheet in the Windows folder and sets it as the default sytlesheet for
all pages viewed in IE. Embedded ##### code then tries to guess when a
user is viewing pornographic images.
Method of Infection: CoolWebBrowser is suspected to be installed by pop-ups
exploiting security holes in IE. However, to date, no one has caught a
live CWS installer.
Privacy Issues: None reported
Security Issues: In the Bootconf variant, coolwebsearch.com is added to IE's
Trusted Sites Zone, allowing it to download and install any code it likes.
Stability Issues: DataNotary and BootConf variants may cause significant
slowdown when typing in a browser window on some systems (particularly
when entering information into forms). The SvcHost variant prevents you
from completely reaching Google or the search services of MSN or Yahoo.
Removal Process: Manual removal is possible for most of the variants, but can
be time consuming. As of this writing, most anti-spyware programs aren't
currently addressing all variants.
Merijn Bellekom has fully documented the metamorphosis of CoolWebSearch and
has prepared a tool called CWShredder which should be able to remove all
known CoolWebSearch variants automatically. To access both, visit
