cant get rid of weba.directwebsearch.net

My browers been hijacked and Adaware and Spybot dont even detect it!

Even though I change my hompage it gets changed back to websearch everytime I rebot! 😠

HELP! 🙁

And no I wasn't looking at porn! 😗

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.

hijackthis works easier to get rid of registry keys IMO.

never heard of bazooka well one more won't hurt (I have like 5 anti-adware proggies already)

*notes how 4 mods posted here*

Use spybot, it gets rid of all that nasty stuf that casue your browser to redirect itself to something wierd.

CWShredder gets it every time

I feel so vulnerable 😕

I have Spybot Search and Destroy, it works rather well.

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

But it cant get rid of this one. 🙁
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! schmoll

*faints*

😆 LOL your sorrows are funny. 😆

I'm going to need several spa pampering treatments to get over this oppressive ordeal! diva

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 😠 I did viruscans and spyware scans all the time and nothing 😖 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 😄

*points to post right above evy's which says the same thing* 😛

but I had a face-to-face experience with it 😛
and I also added that you gotta go to the FAQ/Help section

DirectWebEncounters of the Third Kind huh 😛

which is located on their site, beat you to it😛

😂 only cause I told you 😛

you didn't had directweb 😛

at least I had something with 'web' in it 😛

There are some registry kays which programs cannot detect, and you have to remove them manualy! 🙄 But I guess that would be too complex for you, even after we told you how to do it. 😛

*slap slap* diva
