It was weird - Microsoft AntiSpyware popped up with an infection a couple of days ago (Wednesday, I think). I didn't attempt to do anything (quarantine or remove it) and the next night's scan showed nothing. Today's scan showed nothing. I'm beginning to believe MS is the culprit here. Big surprise, right?!?! Thanks for looking! Susan

Help? Anyone? This morning, Microsoft's scan showed no sign of CWS. I did nothing yesterday to attempt to remedy the situation. Here's today's HJT log: Logfile of HijackThis v1.99.1 Scan saved at 10:08:25 AM, on 4/14/2005 Platform: Windows XP SP2 (WinNT 5.01.2600) MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 SP2 (6.00.2900.2180) Running processes: C:\WINDOWS\System32\smss.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\winlogon.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\lsass.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\spoolsv.exe C:\PROGRA~1\Grisoft\AVGFRE~1\avgamsvr.

AARGH!!! 'nuf said. CWS.startpage is back - I didn't download anything new except for Spyware Guard. My husband hasn't had time to be on the computer, and he knows better than to download anything.

Thank you so very much!!! I appreciate the help. I think I will go ahead and hide the system files... my husband and sister use the computer too. If it was just mine, that'd be something completely different. Thank you!!

Thank you so much for the fast response! I consider myself to be pretty competent techie-wise, but this was driving me up the wall... Hidden files and folders are showing (I like it that way, anyway.) I tried to uninstall the UPromise RemindU program without success almost a year ago - thanks for the help getting rid of that. I found it to be uneffective and have better luck doing my online shopping through the Upromise site. Here's my new log: Logfile of HijackThis v1.99.1 Scan saved at 10:52:28 AM, on 4/9/2005 Platform: Windows XP SP2 (WinNT 5.01.2600) MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 SP2

I run Spybot S&D, SpywareBlaster, Microsoft's beta anti-spyware program, ZoneAlarm and Ad-Aware. Microsoft's program keeps saying I've got CWS.StartPage. CWShredder finds nothing. My start page hasn't changed, and I'm not getting any extra pop-up ads. Is this a glitch in MS's program, or is there something truly wrong with my system? Thanks for any help you can offer!
