Search Assistent, Search Extender, Shopping Wizard

[Mike Zee]

I am work now,and my home PC has 3 bugs, Search Assistent,
Search Extender, Shopping Wizard. I believe they are all
realated. They play the name game changing the names each
time you boot. I tried Hijack this, adaware Pro, which is
simply jumk when it comes to pesky stuff. I tried to
delete the entries in the registry, but came back
immediately. They repair themselves and it's like pulling
weeds. I have tried pretty much everything. Will this
software get rid of these bugs?

Steps to take if you have spyware that is not removed by
Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware (beta)
1) Open up AntiSpyware
2) Click Tools at the top
3) Click "Submit a Suspected Spyware Report"
4) Fill out the form with as much detail so they can
anªlyze quickly

By doing these steps before trying something new, you make
the product better.

Thanks again for testing the betª!!!!


Generally, in a case where the item is identified, but not
properly removed, the next steps are:

1) Update both Microsoft Antispyware and your antivirus
application.
2A)Have you tried Mcrosoft Antispyware, preferably while
running in safe mode?
2B)Shut down the computer and turn off the power. Wait for
at least 30 seconds, and then restart the computer in Safe
mode or VGA mode.

3) Do full deep scans with Microsoft Antispyware. Repeat
scanning until a complete scan comes through clean. Ditto
with the antivirus.

This isn't guaranteed, but it works for a great many items
that at first appear not to be cleaned in normal mºde.
