Good deal!
That's how I usually spend my saturday mornings cleaning junk off the kids/wife's machines!
Then answering stoopid questions; Who put that there? I didn't download anything...yah.
| Crash... and for anyone lurking.....
|
| I finally found the file in: c:\winnt\wdskctl.exe after looking in Computer
| manager and looking in the running modules and startup folders.....
|
| It's name is: IE Plugin or IE Plugin Desktop Toolbar
|
| AND......
|
| When I left it open (running) Hijack this was able to find it and remove it.
|
| Problem solved!!!!

| | Also...it never hoits to actually look through Program files, as Adaware,
| Spybot S&D sometimes will miss things. If I don't recognize something I do a
| google search + spyware and see what it might be. You'd be surprised what
| you may find.

| | | Hi Crash.....
| |
| | That sounds like WORK! (for those of us in the group that are old
| enough
| | to remember Maynard G Greebs on the old Doobie Gillis Show!)
| |
| | Thanks for the direction, I will give it a whirl.

| message
| | | | tell me about it...I just spent a couple of hours getting rid of
| mysearchbar
| | crap. what really ticks me off is these scumware programs seem to target
| | sites my kids enjoy so my wife's machine ends up with a zillion goofy
| things
| | running.
| |
| | best thing to do is a Google search for the name of the offending program
| +
| | spyware - then read up on it and how to get rid of them.
| |
| | one thing about Ad-aware...if you are using Custom config and a new
| program
| | (like a BHO or anything else for that matter) gets added Adaware doesn't
| | automatically add it to your scan list.
| |
| | check msconfig for anything that is running that looks weird...verify it
| by
| | doing a Google on the name of file if you don't think it's legit. Uncheck
| | what you suspect.. also end running task on it. Then run Adaware.

| | | | | Hi all......
| | |
| | | I've got a web search bar that my teens allowed to be added to my
| | computer.
| | | It shows up on startup and you can exit out of it but I want it gone.
| | |
| | | It does not show up in change or remove programs and hijack and adware
| | have
| | | not been able to get rid of it. Any suggestions on how it can get it
| gone.
| | | It is on a Win 2000 pro machine.
| | |
| | | Thanks....
