jtval 0 #1 November 3, 2005 ok so I went to listen to an M#U online and tried to click the "NO" button but hit the "YES" button when it asked me to install some shitty search bar. I went to my regedit and deleted all the bullshit pop-up and adware stuff but I cant get the search bar to fuck off and die. on the left hand side there is a drop down button (See attachment) that send's me to the uninstall page. UNFORTUNATELY, when I get there the webpage does not work. (see attachment) so my question is WTF do I do to get this shit off my computer? PLease help. There is one thing I am not sure about in my registry but I don't want to delete it without knowing WTF it is. could this be it?(see attachment)My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuFantasma 0 #2 November 3, 2005 Right click on the top grey portion of the browser and check the name of the toolbar (e.g. Navigation Toolbar, Bookmarks toolbar, etc)... Check the name of the toolbar and google it for uninstall program...

incode 0 #4 November 3, 2005 reboot the machine into safe mode not with networking just normal safe mode, then uninstall from the add remove programs IF there is an entry there, also find it in the program files and delete the whole folder, then delete from the registry but make sure you back the keys up befor you delete incase you delete the wrong thing. After this has been done do an msconfig and check you startup items to see if its in there if so get rid of it. Hope that helps edit: you probably want to check msconfig befor you go deleting reg keys because if it is in msconfig you can see the dir of the reg key Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Love that program for that very reason. however it is dangerous so use at your own risk Agreed I used to use "hijack this" at work and if you are usure what you are deleting *DONT DELETE IT* if you do decide to download and run hijack this just save it to a notepad file and copy all the info and paste it into this website http://www.hijackthis.de/ and it will diagnose what is bad and whats not Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChasingBlueSky 0 #8 November 3, 2005 I believe that search bar is classified as spyware - try using adaware and search and destroy to see if they remove it. Hijack this is also a great tool for removal of this sort of thing.

jtval 0 #18 November 3, 2005 so.... I clicked "fis this" file and selected the TOOLBAR. I restarted my computer and the damned thing is still there. any suggestionsMy photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
incode 0 #19 November 3, 2005 lol sorry shouldnt be laughing. probably delete it using hijack this then check msconfig to see if it is in the startup items or anything dodgy looking is in there, if so get rid of it and delete the reg entrys. Alot of the time what will happen with spyware is they will hide themselves and reinstall on re-boot, so even if you delete the toolbar another install file is present and will reinstall itself as soon as its deleted or restarted.
