Search Assistant!

[Guest]

i cant get the search assistant on my computer to permanently stay off. If you right click, go to toolbars, and click off the search assistant it is still there the next time i log into my account. Anyone know how to fix it?

The "Search Assistant" bar is a malware, and it seems to reset the Taskbar settings.

Type the command in RUN box.
Regsvr32 /u C:\Windows\System32\omniband.dll

Then, rename C:\Windows\System32\omniband.dll to old omniband.dll and restart Windows.

If the bar is not removed, run this program and post the log:

Additionally, download all the spyware cleaners and run them.

These two problems are seen together. This fix helps in most cases:

If you have the new MSN Tool bar...uninstall it. Search Assistant is part of that program
