SpyWiper Mail Wiper

http://tired-of-spam.home.comcast.net/spywiper.html
I`m in over my head! The above Address describes the worm or virus or trojan or whatever it is that I`ve picked up while surfing the net.
I`m running Win`98, IE5.5, AVG Antivirus. which I religously keep updated. AVG detected a virus and I deleted it from the Virus Vault but this thing still hijacks my home page. I`m using M.S. blank for home at present.
I downloaded" Hijack This " and copied the log but I have no idea what to remove from the log, and I didn`t want to post all that data to this board until I knew it was necessary.
Point me in the right direction.
I`m going to run AVG scan all files to see if it detects any thing new.
Thanks in advance!!

 

I neglected to mention, I use Googles dropdown blocker, works great, and my ISP furnishes a Spam blocker "Postini. "
I ran the AVG virus scan again and it didn`t detect any virus.

 

Some reading.

HTH.

 

Thanks Brett I`ll read a while,I typed it off.

 

Lotsa Help!

Thanks Brett,
I read and followed all that good information, Got to where they told me to download a CWshredder and did so. I do beleve It`s got back to normal.

I`m constantly amazed a two things, How little I know, and how much help there is out there for jokers like me.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

 

You're welcome

 

Hi,
I think you can find out about the Mail Viper if you went too:
www.google.com and typed in SpyWiper...I would post the info on it here but it's kind of lengthy. Also I think if you can read from a good source the info thats available about it, that some times thats better. Not maybe in all cases but this one is an exception.

Good luck and keep us posted...

 

Thanks for the reply, I got it all cleaned up with the Link Brett posted.
Thanks anyway

 

okay, good, glad to hear it...Thanks for posting back...
