I have ISearch on my computer, removed it I thought (think?)(it was in the "britanica" folder), did the "Internet options>advanced>allow 3rd party internet... " blah blah blah, and everytime I "click on" or "cut and paste" your suggested URL's for a "fix", I get "This page cannot be displayed"... I have restarted, I have waved a chicken over my head and put a mojo on ISearch to no avail... Is there a class action suit I can join or start? HELP..

Greetings --

To deal with issues caused by any sort of "adware" and/or
"spyware,"such as Gator, Comet Cursors, Smiley Central, Xupiter,
Bonzai Buddy, or KaZaA, and their remnants, that you've deliberately
(but without understanding the consequences) installed, two products
that are quite effective (at finding and removing this type of
scumware) are Ad-Aware from www.lavasoft.de and SpyBot Search &
Destroy from www.safer-networking.org/. Both have free versions.
It's even possible to use SpyBot Search & Destroy to "immunize" your
system against most future intrusions. I use both and generally
perform manual scans every week or so to clean out cookies, etc.

Additionally, manual removal instructions for the most common
varieties of scumware are available here:
