Seek Seek spyware on registry

[Susan]

I ran spyware scan with Spyhunter and Seek Seek was found
in location HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\interface\{57A0E747-383 etc.
It is hijack spyware and may redirect information to
searchv.com or parent company. Is there way to remove it
or do I need to buy software tool to remove it. Can
anyone make some recommendations please!

Thanks,
Susan

I would recommend using spyware removal software if you

are not fully sure of using the Registry, as removing
entries manually can be sometimes fatal.

Yep if you google "ad-aware" and then for "spybot search & destroy"
download both progs and instal, then update the definitions, then run them,
hopefully your prayers will be answered, They both do a similar job, but
sometimes one will catch what the other misses, I run both daily

This is a CoolWebSearch variant. The free tool, CWShredder from
http://www.merijn.org/files/CWShredder.exe will get rid of it. You should
update this tool about once a week.

Thanks. I will try it. I have been warned in another group
to avoid SpyHunter.

Avoid using SpyHunter! I was informed to uninstall it,
which I did. I have run Ad-Aware and SpyBot and blocked
spyware. I also did HijackThis and posted log to board
for interpretation. No Seek Seek was found and expert
said that I was clean. He also said I was wise to
uninstall SpyHunter.
