Search assistant

[James Carlson]

When I restart my computer, "Search Assistant" pops up on
my taskbar, even when I turn it off and restart my
computer. This prohibits my icons on my taskbar from
loading. How do I remove "Search Assistant"?

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.

Download all the spyware cleaners and run them.
