Home Search Assistent, Search Extender, & Shopping Wizard--I've tried everything!

Expand Post »
Please help me with this! I've run AdAware, SpyBot Search & Destroy AND SpySubtract. I've run CWShredder and it finds nothing. Yet when I go to Ad/Remove Programs, these three spyware programs remain, with no way of uninstalling them. They're hijacking my homepage, creating new unfavorable Favorites, and causing pop-ups. There must be some way of manually uninstalling these programs...can you guys tell me how? Here's my HiJackThis Log:

Re: Home Search Assistent, Search Extender, & Shopping Wizard--I've tried everything!

what does it set your homepage to (about.blank). Microsoft anti spyware may be able to help but if it is about.blank it can be a real pain to get rid of.

Yeah, it sets it to about:blank, which is some kind of "quick search" garbage.

Re: Home Search Assistent, Search Extender, & Shopping Wizard--I've tried everything!

Yikes! :eek::eek:

That's an extremely heavy infestation; We'll need much more than HijackThis to fix things.

1. Download the following three utilities and run them consecutively:

CWShredder
about:Buster
HSRemove

CWShredder and about:Buster have an online update function; use that before having them scan and fix. For CWShredder, click the "Fix" button, not the "Scan" button. about:Buster and HSRemove are pretty self-explanatory; just follow their prompts.


2. Download, install, and run:

ewido Security Suite (free trial version)
Microsoft AntiSpyware beta

Again- check for updates first, and then have each program scan your system and fix what it finds.


3. Go to the following sites and run their free online virus/spyware scans. Let them clean what they find:

http://www.kaspersky.com/scanforvirus.html
http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
http://www.pandasoftware.com/actives..._principal.htm


4. Reboot your computer, run HiajckThis again, and post a new log.

Re: Home Search Assistent, Search Extender, & Shopping Wizard--I've tried everything!

Some Spywares effect antivirus programs.So before running the online virus programs go into Safemode with networking and then run the program. Trend Micro is the one I like.
