Malware found
« on: March 16, 2009, 02:41:14 PM »
My mcafee security center has come across two potentially unwanted programs and i have not been able to remove them so i thought id come here . They are Adware-CoolWebSearch and Generic!Artemis . Ive searched around on the internet trying to remove them with no luck .

Adware-CoolWebSearch is in HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\enum\root\LEGACY_ZESOFT
Generic!Artemis is in C:\Documents and Settings \ All Users \ Application Data \BOC425\evidence.boc

Hi Kirbster, and Welcome to SpywareHammer! ;D

There are several applications which will probably remove those two infections, but I would recommend you submit a HiJackThis log so our experts can advise you.  Follow the instructions in this post - http://spywarehammer.com/simplemachinesforum/index.php?topic=88.0 - and start a new topic here - http://spywarehammer.com/simplemachinesforum/index.php?board=10.0 - briefly outlining the problem and the steps you have taken to remove the infections.  Paste your HJT log into your post.  Someone will be along shortly to advise you and check for any signs of further problems.

Please be patient as the guys over there are kept busy, but be assured you will recieve a reply as soon as someone becomes available.

Good luck!
