IT Peeps, help! Ad/Spyware Dialler Hijack :(
Noticed something funny when dialled into the internet from home last night - something has 'infected' it.
Ran couple of anti adware and spyware programmes, they seemed to delete problems, but 3 were still there - we sourced the dll file, managed to get rid of it, thought that solved the problem - no the dial up username is still wrong (couple of letters followed by what looks like IP address) and wont let you override an International dial up number charging at feck knows what a minute - the anti spyware then detected all the same files we thought were deleted
Think it got coolwebsearch and/or TIBS/hot as hell
Please anyone tell me how to destroy this and get my pc back?!!

I think it was adaware that failed to remove it Going to try spy sweeper, but still not convinced it will remove the dialler thing
Thanks for your reply though!
I think this one is so intertwined and tough the only solution seems to be system restore/rebuild (haven't got Windows/XP disc so dunno how do that)

Thanks Guys, this one is a tough bugger, have tried MSN, Spy Sweeper (it says deleted, but on start up the fecker still there), tried searching the registry and allsorts - I don't think they can be removed easily as Sludge says - thanks Sludge, have posted an HJT log to see what peeps can suggest (also found something called CWShredder to get rid of coolweb)

Ah if only it were that simple Dan! lol
Thanks Rudey, I managed to delete some dodgy files in safe mode using HijackThis (great explaination/tutioral for this at http://castlecops.com ) ran the coolwebshredder, that fixed. Ran Norton 2005 antivirus, spy doctor, xbot and couple of others, columdialler and a trojan was picked up by spy doctor also a registry value file (which managed to delete from the registry) so managed to manually delete the files somehow and reinstall a new ISP connection
This is a very tough programme, most antispywares can't detect/delete, it seems even if visiting 'non-dodgy' sites the feckers can get into unprotected pc's, a lesson for everyone to get good antispyware software!
Fingers crossed we've got rid of it
