Claria.Dashbar

[kingskid]

As often as I clean Claria.dashbar, it's always there the
next time I return to the computer - with or without
another spyware scan. Does anyone have any suggestions
that I could understand? I just use this machine; I know
very little about its inner workings. Thanks, folks.

try booting to safe mode and run MSAS in fiull scan

Please start with doing a Suspected Spyware Report from the MWAS tool bar.

Boot into Safe Mode (F8) at startup;
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.

*The .tif are Temporary Internet Files, and are stored in a different barn
than 'normal' temp files.
Here's how I kludge thru to them: Open Windows Explorer--->C:\Documents and
Settings. Then it's to the Tool Bar--->Folder Options--->View--->Hidden
Files and Folders and check the box "Show hidden files and folders" > Now
expand C:\Documents and Settings and under each user you will now see a
folder "Local Settings". Open that puppy and choose Temporary Internet
Files. I am not concerned about the cookies therein, but everything else
can go for now.

If that fails then go here for manual removal instructions:
