Go to add/remove pgms and remove a program with a name like MyWay [searchbar, whatever..]; delete the folder from Program Files.
Either: go Control panel > folder options OR: in an explorer window > tools>folder options; - then view tab, and press
Show hidden files and folders.
==Download fixwareout from http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/file...Fixwareout.exe - and save it to your desktop.
Double click Fixwareout.exe to start the Fixwareout Setup Wizard, click next and then install. Ensure that Run fixit is checked, and click on Finish. After the fix follow the prompts. You will be asked to reboot your computer, and it may take longer than usual to load - this is normal.

Next check some settings....In control panel select the Network and Internet Connections , rclick on your default connection, usually local area connection for cable and dsl, and lclick on properties. Click the Networking tab. Dclick on the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) item and select Obtain DNS servers automatically. Press OK twice to get out of the properties screen and reboot if it asks.

Now we have to flush the DNS cache: Go Start > Run, type cmd and click OK.
In the command screen, type in cd\ and then press Enter. Now type in ipconfig /flushdns and then Enter. [space after ipconfig]. Type Exit.

==Download Lspfix.exe from http://cexx.org/lspfix.htm -start it by dclicking the .exe, and press Finish.
==Start Hijackthis, do a Scan Only and place checkmarks against all of the following, and then press Fix Checked:

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://bfc.myway.com/search/de_srchlft.html
R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - {4D25F926-B9FE-4682-BF72-8AB8210D6D75} - (no file)
O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{C80146A6-967F-4F9F-9E2D-D9E0665624E0}: NameServer = 85.255.116.155,85.255.112.26
O17 - HKLM\System\CS1\Services\Tcpip\Parameters: NameServer = 85.255.116.155 85.255.112.26
O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\Parameters: NameServer = 85.255.116.155 85.255.112.26

Okay, please run HT again and repost with the fixwareout log.

Many, many thanks. Very impressive-how do you do this? I believe the problem is solved. I carefully followed your instructions. Everything went according to your plan with the exception that MyWay did not appear on the uninstall list so I deleted it from the Program Files as you suggested. All but one 017 HKLM\System\CCS\Service file appeared in the HT scan and were deleted. Attached please find the pre-HT Fixwareout.log (I presume that is what you want) and the last HT scan. Let me know what you think. Again, thank you for your help!

Pleased you're pleased, ghg, but save some thanks for the people who write the tools we use, who ferret out every known variation of some pest and update their work.
Everything looks ok from here, esp if it's working for you.
Cheers, g.
