1. Click "Tools" - "Advanced Tools" - "System Explorers".

2. In the left pane, underneath "Internet Explorer", click "IE BHOs".

You will see a list of installed Browser Helper Objects. As noted in
the key, BHOs preceded by a star should be safe, those next to an
exclamation point are unknown, and those next to a red "X" are those
Microsoft AntiSpyware deem hazardous.

Click a BHO for more detailed information if available, such as the
BHO name, description, and publisher name. Also, in the right pane, you can
choose to temporarily or permanently block the BHO. If the BHO is hazardous,
you may want to consider permanently removing it. However, for unknown BHOs,
you may want to consider only temporarily removing the object and examining
the effects later from within Internet Explorer.

Default isearch bar

Hi David This isnt a nice one as some of its variations
also affects the hosts file but follow Andre's advise and
only use this if you still have problems

First open Add/Remove programs screen and remove any of
these if found:

Searchit - toolbar
YuupSearch Toolbar
411Ferret Toolbar
autoSearch
IE Toolbar
masterbarHallmedia.net
Toolbar - My toolbar
Searchit - toolbar

**Note these are the different variants so if found reply
which ones are found and i will give the removal for
them**

Theres a small amount of registry work needed but its
only a couple of values,

Go to start the run and type

regedit

Check for this value and delete if found:

goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE then click the + next to it,then
go to SOFTWARE and again click the + next to it then to
MICROSOFT and the + and so on to you get to the Uninstall
folder then click the + to open it

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersi
on\Uninstall\{A55581DC-2CDB-4089-8878-71A080B22342}.


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software Then this entry in that
folder:

iSearch


Open a DOS command prompt window (from Start->Programs-
>Accessories) and enter the following commands


**Note you can copy and paste this lines into the command
prompt**

First copy & paste this line:

cd "%WinDir%\System"

Press Enter
Then copy and paste in this line

regsvr32 /u toolbar.dll


Now restart your pc and find these files in the
windows/system 32 folder (called just 'System' on Windows
95/98/Me) and delete them

**You can search for these if you have problems finding
them but on the search page go to tools on the top bar
then folder options and go to the view page,put a check
in the 'show hidden files and folders' option and right
below it uncheck the 'Hide extensions for known file
types'**

then back to search and choose all files and folders and
to look in My Computer then delete these:

toolbar.dll
version.txt



Thats the isearch bar gone but you also need to check
your hosts file as this toolbar can try block you getting
access to certain sites (Mainly security and AntiSpy
related sites by changing your hosts file)

The Hosts file can be found in Windows folder on Windows
95/98/Me, or in System32\drivers\etc in the Windows
folder on Winddows NT/2000/XP/2003

Again you can search for it by typing hosts on the search
screen and open it with notepad to check the entries

All that should be there if you havent added any is
examples and then the 127.0.0.1 LocalHosts entry but if
this has been changed you will see the security and
antispy sites entered with numbers from 127.0.0.2 upwards
if they are there delete them all and just leave the
127.0.0.1 LocalHosts in place and the examples above it.

Another easier way if you are not sure about hosts files
is to download this to restore the Microsofts default
host file:

Download the Hoster from here:

http://members.aol.com/toadbee/hoster.zip

Press 'Restore Original Hosts' and press 'OK'
Exit Program.

Also empty your temp folders

Delete Temp Internet files :

Open a internet browser window, click Tools then Internet
Options.
Click on the Delete Cookies and the Delete Files buttons,
then click OK and close the browser window.


Next: Delete Windows Temporary Files - (start,run then
type %temp% delete all files you can in this folder
The Windows temporary directory (usually located at
C:\windows\temp).


Repost if you have any problems and i will help where i
can

Good luck


Andy

Remember, it's still only a Beta.

I've seen it do some good work, and I've seen it nab inbound crapware
barehanded.
