I am not sure where did I pick up this virus, but i do not want it. I have already tryed add or remove programs in my control panel. No luck. It must have something to do with the registry, but I can not able to clean that.The other day someone in yahoo answers suggest a remove dosearches guide. It requires to download an antivirus not heard before,I just want to make sure everything won't go wrong again.
I would like to get rid of it before it does any damage. A little help would be APPRECIATED!!

Jump to PostWhatever you do, DO NOT download an antivirus from these knuckleheads! It is (to me at least) an obvious attempt to pwn your system and add it to some malware botnet. As to how to remove it, have you tried mainstream A/V software, including legitimate free/open-source ones like ClamAV?

Do-searches can modify the shortcut to the web browser. Even if you change the homepage it still comes up I assume? Check the path of the shortcut you are using... make sure that it only points to the file location with no modifier.
