No mention of CWS (Cool Web Search) or Xupiter.
CoolWebSearch, which can hijack searches............mentioned.
Cool Web search was listed in the report. That one has affected my sons computer and I have not been able to remove with Spyhunter and Adaware. It would not let me get to AVG to download that virus protector. In one evening I removed 141 spyware and 900 ads.
This virus/ worm spyware came when my son checked optimizer.exe. It also put up a porn site for the ie browser. I had to sut down his internet because of this. Now he is using my computer. I am checking it constantly.
"They include such programs as PurityScan, which puts up pop-up ads and tricks users into installation by claiming to find and delete porn on the PC; CoolWebSearch, which can hijack searches, browser home page, and IE's settings; and Perfect Keylogger, a spy that records all visited sites, keystrokes, and mouse clicks to, for instance, divine passwords, account numbers, and other sensitive information."
CWS is nasty stuff indeed. I hate all of these b@stards. They are ruining the web for the newbies who don't know how to deal with this stuff.
I've gone to co-workers homes and spent hours cleaning their machines of crap, usually it's the kids or the nanny who who initially get it infected.
