Encountered browser hijacker CWS affiliate winshow. Have used Ad-ware, Spybot, Cwshredder. All have detected and removed the trojan, but after reboot the broswer still gets hijacked and changed homepage to some porn site. Wanted to post log from Hijackthis but received warning against posting the log until some expert requested for it. Please request the log so that I can post it. Need help urgently!!

This may be an obvious question, but did you turn off System Restore before scanning your PC with the utilities (e.g., Spybot, etc.)?

Have you scanned in safe mode?

I've not turned off System Restore or scanned in safe mode. Does it matter?

I matters a great deal. What you're trying to expunge from your system has probably infected System Restore as well. Turn it off; reboot your PC into Safe Mode; scan and delete with your utilities again.

I have reboot to Safe mode. Disabled System Restore and run Spybot. Spybot detects CmsMin and removed. Changed homepage to www.yahoo.com, removed favourites and reboot system.

When reboot to normal mode, the homepage gets highjacked again. What else could be the matter?
