when istart up my comp. my firewall asks if a program labeled woea.exe (im pretty sure that was it) is allowed to connect to the internet. i never remember this .exe asking before. also i had just had a trojan that had put a search bar thing on ie but im not that worried about that for ive been using firefox. also the trojan scanners are spyware scanners havent found any other things wrong so i was just wondering if its anything to worry about and mabey if you can, say any ideas on removing that search bar. thanks.
 
Get The latest version of Adaware
You can download the free version here:
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download/

or here (alternate download location)
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download506.html

You need to be logged on as Adminstrator through the installation.
For ease in installation and operation, view the tutorial here http://www.spyware911.net/adaware.htm

Just download it to your desktop and then to install click on the file you just downloaded (aawsepersonal.exe). You will be guided through the installation. It is recommended to use the default setting of "Protect anyone who uses this computer".

On the main screen of Adaware please look for the *check for updates now* link, just above the start button in the bottom right corner or you can click on the Webupdate button that looks like a globe icon at the top. Press * connect* to let it check for any recent updates. If any are found, please let it download and install them.

Now, configure your settings. Click the gear icon at the top. These are the recommended settings:

AAW SE settings

General Button
Safety:
Check (Green) all three.

Advanced Button
Logfile Detail Level:
All options under this should be checked (Green).

Tweak Button
Check (Green) the following:
Log Files
Include basic Ad-Aware settings in logfile:
Include additional Ad-Aware settings in logfile:
Please do not check (Green): Include Module list in logfile:

On your first scan, use the Full Scan (Perform full system scan) mode.

Let Adaware remove any *bad* objects found. Reboot your PC and scan again. Repeat this process until no more bad items are found. It may take several scans to clean everything, depending on the type of infections found.

Before attacking an adware/spyware problem with hijackthis make sure you have already run ad-aware SE with VX2 add-on cleaner, Spybot Search & Destroy (with updated database) and CWShredder as these programs will clean a lot of the crap out first. All links to programs are in my signature. Ok..on to the logÂ…..

If you have a highspeed connection please Run an online virus scan from TrendMicro Please select the “autoclean” option when prompted to do so. You have a backdoor trojan running.

Open My Computer-->Tools-->Folder Options-->View-->Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Show hidden files and folders. Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files and click YES and then OK.

Reboot into Safe Mode (hit F8 key until menu shows up). Make sure to close any open browsers. Check and fix the following in HijackThis if they still exist (make sure you do not miss an entry)

O3 - Toolbar: Search Bar - {0A8CE102-FA03-4612-9BEE-7FE5452F4CB1} - C:\WINNT\system32\srchbar.dll
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [lmu] C:\WINNT\LMU.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Eoae] C:\Documents and Settings\Nick Novak\Application Data\woea.exe


Delete the following Files/Folders in RED (delete folders if no filename is specified or if they are highlighted in RED) according to their directory (If you can't find them...do a search for themÂ…make sure you have search hidden files, folders, sub directorys..ect enabled if it applys to your OS)

C:\WINNT\system32\srchbar.dll
C:\WINNT\LMU.exe
C:\Documents and Settings\Nick Novak\Application Data\woea.exe


Once done reboot into Normal Mode and post a new HijackThis log file to confirm what was removed and if it's clean or not.
 
i was able to delete everything but the woea.exe, i couldnt find that. heres my updated log file
