Don,
Rule No.#1 of the Spyware game :-)
Never use the uninstaller from the site that hijacked you in the first place.
I couldn't help but notice that you've prescribing this -
"Try the uninstaller at http://xxx.isearch.com/faq.php" (obfuscated).

Please try not to, anything but, Ad-aware now flags this parasite!

Hi Silj,
Well... certainly a good policy, in general, but I've heard from 3 or 4
satisfied customers that the uninstaller worked. I know that Ad-aware didn't
work for a couple of users (maybe user error- maybe not.) And, while I've
heard of ineffective uninstallers, I think that an uninstaller which adds
even more malware is probably a rare find.

So, I'll probably look at these uninstallers on a case-by-case basis.

Regards,
Don

Wrong, Don - sorry - "most" do.

You may but I'd not prescribe them to the surfing public.
It's ultimately up the developers at SpyBot, Ad-aware, et al, to decide
if these are worth _anything_!

**Use the tools that you have available to you**, :-)
