Getting Rid of World Antispy

[rickymaveety]

I searched for a thread on this but could not find one.  I'm new, so please don't kill me if I am posting something that has been posted before.

Somehow, World Antispy (the adware not the actual registered program) got installed on my PC.  Everytime it boots up, I get the phoney spyware scan and ... you know the rest.

OK, so I take the following steps:

1.  I delete the shortcut on my desktop;
2.  I uninstall the program from Windows using Add/Remove programs;
3.  I run Spybot Search and Destroy, which sees both the World Antispy and Tesla entries and eliminates them;
4.  I delete the World Antispy folder;
5.  I empty the trash folder.

Having done all this, the next time I boot up ... there it is again.  There have been a few times I have combed through the registry just to make sure it's gone.  But .... it always appears again.

Does anyone have any suggestions for getting rid of this awful thing?  I mean aside from actually purchasing the crummy program which I would not do on principal.  I have written to the company to tell them exactly what scum sucking pigs I think they are.

Thanks for any help.

Hi, rickymaveety.

Your HijackThis program is outdated. Please download the most latest version (1.99.1) and run a new scan.

[rickymaveety]

OK ...

first, you should know that the link in the article your referenced does not go to the new hijack this version.  It goes to another program called adware alert.

However, I was able to find the newest version of hijack this and this is the new log file.

Hi, rickymaveety.

first, you should know that the link in the article your referenced does not go to the new hijack this version. It goes to another program called adware alert.

The link in the article I referenced DOES go to the new HijackThis version. AdWareALERT is a rogue product and I never recommend it to forum members. The link I proveded actually leads to the HijackThis tutorial. In the very beginning you can find the following chapter:

Installing HijackThis
HijackThis is a freeware piece of software. You can download and use it free of charge. HijackThis can be obtained from the official site. Size of the most recent version (v1.99.1, released in February, 2005) is about 250KB, so the download shouldn't take more than a few seconds.

Just click on the link in it. This will open the official web site of HijackThis.


As for your log, please follow these steps:

1. Open the Control Panel and launch the Add or Remove Programs tool. In the list of installed software find AdwareAlert and uninstall it.

2. Use HijackThis to fix the following entries:
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = about:blank
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Search_URL = about:blank
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = about:blank
R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar,LinksFolderName =
R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing
O2 - BHO: Class - {C5FF3936-BB85-1990-6EF1-FCC8C4F519B3} - blank (file missing)
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [AdwareAlert] C:\Program Files\AdwareAlert\AdwareAlert.Exe -boot
O4 - Global Startup: Adobe Acrobat Speed Launcher.lnk = ?
O4 - Global Startup: Mirra.lnk = ?
O4 - Global Startup: USB Sharing.lnk = ?
O23 - Service: Installer Service (Installer) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\System32\winst.exe (file missing)

3. Download the trial version of the ewido anti-malware program. Install it, update its malware definitions, run a complete system scan and remove all the threats ewido anti-malware will find.

[rickymaveety]

when I clicked on the links, I went to Adware Alert and not to Hijack This.

However, I did eventually get to the correct site (I never did install Adware Alert, and there are no instances of it on my system).

I will go throug the steps in Hijack This and let you know the results.

[rickymaveety]

I never did find any entries for Adware Alert, however, I did find something for "Adware Filter", so I uninstalled and deleted that instead.

The one BHO entry you suggested I delete simply will not go away.  Hijack This doesn't seem to be able to touch it.

Would it be possible for me to just go into the registry and delete it myself?

Newest log is attached ....

Hi, rickymaveety.

Use HijackThis to fix the following entries:
F2 - REG:system.ini: UserInit=C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe,F:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe,
O23 - Service: Installer Service (Installer) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\System32\winst.exe (file missing)

Everything else looks clean to me :wink:.

However, I did eventually get to the correct site (I never did install Adware Alert, and there are no instances of it on my system).

Well, believe this or not, but AdwareAlert or one of its variant was actually installed to your system (could be a result of browser hijack) The following entry was found in one of your logs:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [AdwareAlert] C:\Program Files\AdwareAlert\AdwareAlert.Exe -boot

The one BHO entry you suggested I delete simply will not go away. Hijack This doesn't seem to be able to touch it.

Would it be possible for me to just go into the registry and delete it myself?

That entry is no longer associated with the file. This means that it is useless and not harmful anymore. You can simply go into the registry and delete it yourself.

[rickymaveety]

Even directly from regedit, I could not delete that one BHO.  I ended up having to delete all of them, and then the export would not let me restore the valid ones.

In any event ... now Hijack This will not allow me to delete that once Installer Service you noted.

I had hoped I got rid of it .... but World Anispy popped up on my screen yet again this morning.  It seems to alternate with Ptinfo ... one day I get WAS, the next PT.  My morning routine now is to run Spybot and then Registry Mechanic, and then manually search for any remaining directories relating to either.

It is sucking up a lot of time.

I will submit another log file as soon as I get rid of the Installer Service.

Sigh.

[rickymaveety]

I got rid of the installer key.  There were actually several of them in the registry.  Here is the latest log.

OK ... so after that last log was posted, we had a bit of a power outage.  When the PC came back on ... there was WAS in all its evil splendor.

Hi, rickymaveety.

Please try this:

1. Download the SpSeHjfix tool. Unpack and run it.

2. Download the CWShredder program. Install it and run a fix.

Started up this morning WAS was back.

1.  Deleted the shortcut
2.  Uninstalled the program
3.  Deleted the folder
4.  Ran Spyware Killer
5.  Ran Spybot (it detected WAS and Teslapro ... just like always).  
6.  Deleted them and emptied the trash

Read your post and downloaded and ran both of those items:

7.  SpSeHjfix stated that I was "not infected" and
8.  CWShredder said that I did not have Cool Web Search

But .... something tells me that when I start this puppy up again .. WAS will still be there.

I ended up purchasing PC Tools SpyDoctor and Anti-Virus software online and running both, also Registry Doctor ... ran that too.  I put the PC in safe mode and ran scans and eliminated problems until my poor PC was practically panting, but .... two days now and no more WAS.  So, I think it's gone.

I certainly HOPE it's gone because ....
