winnet comwiz suck

[cwoodring]

To all:
I have read about 50 posts and tried various methods of removing the
comwiz and winnet processes from running on my XP Pro
system but have had no success. I run SpyBotS&D from safe mode and it kills
everything (supposedly) related to the CommonName junk. but somehow it still
comes back. I've gone and done the uninstall program for every user on my pc
and it seems to clear everything out related to Commonname and still after a
reboot the winnet.exe and comwiz processes start up again!!! I've gone step
by step through the manual removal steps given at
and.doxdesk.comarasite:CommonName.


This is the most insiduious piece of crap I've run across. I really
think it is because I run the pc with 4 users and for some reason the
uninstall leaves something in another users space which starts it up again
and again.!

Has anyone successfully removed this stuff in a multiuser XP machine?

BTW - Norton AV has reported it has caught this trying to be installed by
the real time file protection process but unfortunately it has already been
installed - way to go Norton. Since I began trying to get rid of this I
only rarely see Norton yak about comwiz or winnet.


Hellllllp!!!!
