I've run Giant Antispyware a number of times now. Each
time I get a "clean" run, indicating there is no spyware, I pull up my browser, only to find that daosearch has once again inserted itself. No matter how many times Giant cleans it off, it reappears. Obviously, Giant isn't finding the original program file. Not a very good recommendation. Anyone out there know how to defeat Daosearch? |

Sounds like a BHO to me, here are some removal instructions for Browser
Helper Objects: Boot into Safe Mode (F8) at Start Up; Empty your temporary files AND your Temporary Internet Files C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files folder ; Run the scan while in safe mode; If you are running SP2, open IE--->Tools--->Manage Add-ons, and uncheck any BHO's that you don't recognize. -- Andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta FAQ for MS AntiSpy http://www.geocities.com/marfer_mvp/FAQ_MSantispy.htm "bucKo" <anonymous@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:020901c5334c$7f75e110$a501280a@phx.gbl... > I've run Giant Antispyware a number of times now.
