The lastest ref file for Ad-aware contains new signatures for Searchv. Here's the link:

Hi McShade,
You also have a couple of Trojans that need to be removed:Backdoor.Jeem:
C:\WINDOWS\System32\msrexe.exeUnknown:
C:\WINDOWS\system\serve.exeWould you email me a zipped copy of serve.exe to analyze? Click my name for the email addy.
Run HT again and check the following items. Doublecheck so as to be sure not to miss one.
Next, close all browser Windows, and have HT fix all checked.You NEED to restart your computer when you're done.

Info found at Spywareinfo.

Thanks for ur support guys, but unfortunatelly nothing worked, searchv is still driving me mad. I tried Adware, HT and Spybot. Im starting to loose my confidence.

I don't know if this helps in this case, but I know with some of these things, you have to manually change your homepage back to where you want it after cleaning it out before you reboot.
Did you update your AAW ref files?

Did you fix all the items suggested by Tom 41 and Abnormal? Did you run an updated AAW scan?
This may be your problem:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [System Service] C:\WINDOWS\System32\msrexe.exe
Itīs the sub7 v 2.1 trojan.
Run HJT and fix it together with the hijacked search and start pages. I would suggest first you clean up by running an updated AAW scan.Then remove the thing, preferably in safe mode.
Or if you prefer, you could remove it manually
Clicky

Run HT again and fix this entry, it's the culprit:
O4 - Global Startup: MSupdater.exe
MSupdater.exe is a Winshow updater.This:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [System Service] C:\WINDOWS\System32\msrexe.exeIs Backdoor.Jeem, not sub7 v2.1.

Tom is right guys. That is the solution! My old pc is back and doing what i say... It has some few other problems but ill try to manage it.
Thanks

It depends on what AV program you use (SARC = Backdoor.Jeem, Sophos = Sub7v2.1), so, both names have the potential of being right.
If you still have these files by chance, I'd like you to submit them to us at our submission system.
http://www.lavahelp.com/submit/
If you don't have them, that's ok.
Thanks,

Hi Aaron,
Don't wish to argue but Sophos detects it as Troj/Bdoor-AML
http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/analyses/trojbdooraml.htmlSub7 v2.1 would show up as:
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [WinLoader] C:\%WINDOWS%\msrexe.exe
There would also be a System.ini entry and the .exe file association would have been altered.
I've sent a copy of the server.exe file to TK, so he should forward it to you guys after analyzing it.

Hi, can someone help me please. I read this thread, and tried to attempt the instructions given, but Im not good with computer and need help. I downloaded HT and Stinger, but I don't know what to do next since most of the logs differ.

I've also had some problems. I've tried fixing it somewhat on my own, in teh past i've been able to fix these types of problems relativly easy, but ad-aware dosen't catch it, I can't find program files that affect it, and fixing the reg-keys dosen't work. Thanks for any help you can provide!

This line looks suspicious:
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyOverride = localhost
This line is bad:
O4 - Global Startup: MSupdater.exe
I would disable this line:
O4 - Global Startup: KODAK Software Updater.lnk = C:\Program Files\KODAK\KODAK Software Updater\7288971\Program\backWeb-7288971.exe

I had this same problem, and I found that I had the "regedit /s C:\WINNT\sys.reg" set also, and after removing that and deleting the file in the window directory my browser started with the default blank page again.
The key was under:
HEKY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Sofware\Microsoft\Windows\Current_Version\Run
and it was called "sys" with a value of "regedit /s C:\WINNT\sys.reg"Hope that helps,
Sven

Fix this line:

Dear Smithdk,
Removing winshow.dll worked thanks! Just for your info, another Trojan also came with the program Dc669.exe which was not detected by HT. Norton found that one in the Recycle.
Keep up the noble work guys. The world needs more guys like you who help others without asking anything in return...
