prosearch worm

[pwood]

It look like I just got zapped by the by a worm that sends me through Prosearch.com? Is there a way to get this removed. I imagine others how been hit with this to.

I searched for this supposed worm of yours, but haven't found a thing online.  What exactly is happening?

try a spyware/adware remover. I dont think it is a worm

So far I'm stuck with deleting prosearch down on top of the Task Bar just to get more space. I've gone into the Control Page, wiped out the Start-Up Page selection and entering www. Yahoo.com.  That works AT THAT TIME .  However , if depart Internet Explorer & return later, the Control Page NOW has

http://prosearching.com PRECEEDING Yahoo.com & thus I get two very fat task bars with garbage selections.

I'm getting the same exact thing.  When I go to my home page on Internet Explorer it always starts off with prosearch.com/passthrough then like cnn.com.  Then I have a blue taskbar at the top and another bar at the bottom.  Any idea how to fix this?

sounds to me like a browser hijack.

go to the following site and download Hijack this.

SCAN your system w/ HJT  and save your log file when it is done.   then post your log (cut and paste)   will take a look at it and let ya know.   i it als o would help to download Adawave from lavasoftusa.com and spybot search and desrty.  run a full system scan and remove what they find.  

Lady Yuna is correct it is spyware/maleware.   hate that stuff.

Hi,

cwshredder from www.lurkhere.com -> nicefiles
can probably correct this automatically
close all browser windows and other programs before you let it run & fix

I am not sure about CWshredder, because prosearching.com seems to be a lop.com domain. Adaware and Spybot should be able to handle this, or like First_c said, post a ijackthis log
