Were you looking at Bjork, because looking at Bjork is worse for your PC then porn.

Actually, I just had to re-install the system because my computer decided to spazz out complitely from the ''mortage'' and ''life insurance'' pop ups.

I think it would be good if you download Bazooka, its great for detecting spyware Adaware and Spybot dont, since I had all of them, installed.

You can also eliminate the registry kays manualy, by going on ''run'' and typing ''regedit.exe'' but thats only if you know which registry kays are messing up yer system, but those are easy to detect since they have lot of random codes. You can also recognise them by the name.

Good luck.

CWShredder was great at getting rid of that annoying Cool search! thumb up

But it cant get rid of this one. sad

Tried search and destroy and ran an up-to-date virus scan!
Nothing!

The only thing more stress-wrinkle inducing than this bug is lil's & Bf's atrocious lack of sympathy towards me during this trying time!

*faints*

well, if spybot can't find it and others, it's cause it's not classified as one or cause the solution is too easy

not sure of directwebsearch but there are others that if you go to their site you can click a link somewhere to get rid of their crap, try that first

I had that too, for weeks! it's the most annoying thing EVER mad

I did viruscans and spyware scans all the time and nothing messed

so I went to their site (I had searchweb.com) -> FAQs and then did some stuff (visited lots of sub-webpages) and a few days ago, I got rid of it big grin

There are some registry kays which programs cannot detect, and you have to remove them manualy! roll eyes (sarcastic)

But I guess that would be too complex for you, even after we told you how to do it. stick out tongue

*slap slap*
