IBIS Toolbar

[Linda Cinnamon]

Every time I try to remove IBIS toolbar from my computer,
it freezes up. Any ideas?

Please submit a suspected spyware report to spynet. (tools-

submit suspected spyware report).

Feel free to say what you've got in place and have tried,
and that it didn't work.

Once that has completed, please reboot into safe mode
logged in as administrator and run a full antivirus and
spyware scan with the latest signatures to see if that
helps.

Hi There

IBIS Means you have a variant of Huntbar installed,With
the scanner having problems its probably Wintools as this
cannot be deleted in normal mode due to 3 Wintool files
which interact to stop each other being killed.It will be
installed as a BHO and a Windows Service so going for
this in safe mode is the only way .

Download Ccleaner to remove all temp & unused files

http://download.ccleaner.com/download120bin.asp


Download the fixtool by symantec for this

http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/FxWebsch.exe


Save to desktop. Reboot into safe mode and double click
the fix tool to start the remover.Also run MS Antispy in
safe mode and it should clear Ibis after using the
symantec fix tool ,Remove anything found with MS Antispy


Check Add/remove screen for these and remove if found:

Toolbar
WinTools
WebOffer
Web Search Toolbar
Win-Tools Easy Installer


Manual Removal : (If you need to remove the manually copy
this to notepad and save it so you can still use it in
safe mode)


WinTools cannot be removed in normal mode because of each
of the three processes, plus a BHO, keep each other alive
when you try to stop them. So you will need to use Safe
Mode.

To get to Safe Mode, press the F8 key just as Windows is
about to boot. keep tapping F8 as the machine boots until
the menu appears.


Open the registry

click Start, choose Run, enter

regedit

and find the key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersi
on.

Select the subkey 'Run' and delete the

WinTools
TB_setup
TBPS

entries if any exist


To Make searching the registry faster use the find
feature.Open "regedit" goto "Edit" on the top bar then
goto "Find" .


Next, select the subkey 'Explorer\Browser Helper
Objects', delete the whole subkey with the name

{87766247-311C-43B4-8499-3D5FEC94A183}


find the key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services and
delete the WinToolsSvc subkey.

To clean up, delete

WinTools

in the Software subkey of both HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and
HKEY_CURRENT_USER.


Reboot normally.



Open a DOS command prompt window

(from Start->Run then type cmd ), and enter the
following commands.

First Copy & Paste the first line in and press enter
then copy and paste the other lines in pressing enter
after each one the second part is one command from regsvr
to .dll"

1st.

cd "%WinDir%\System"


2nd.

regsvr32 /u "\Program Files\Common
Files\WinTools\WToolsB.dll"


3rd.

regsvr32 /u "\Program Files\Common
Files\WinTools\btiein.dll"


4th.

regsvr32 /u "\Program Files\Toolbar\toolbar.dll"


Having done this you can reboot the machine and delete
the HuntBar files. Open the 'Common Files' folder inside
Program Files. delete 'WinTools'.


Go back to the Program Files folder and delete

Toolbar


Finally reset your search and home pages back to normal
(Tools->Internet Options->Programs->Reset Web Settings).


Run Ccleaner and clear anything found ,also click issues
and press 'scan for issues' and fix anything found.


That will remove wintools but use the fix from Symantec
in safe mode as you should not need to remove anything
manually if the fixtool works, if it finds alot of IBIS
files then run the remover twice to make sure it shows
clear the second time.
