Thank You...very very much

I was hit with - Home Search Assistent , Search Extender , and Shopping Wizard

In my final steps of wrapping this up, I saw your information and it was a huge help.


Thanks!

I have written the following tutorial to show you how to analyse your own hijackThis log-

http://hometown.aol....al/tutorial.htm

It will tell you how and where to look up and research each item in your log, which tools and databases you will need and where to get them. It will show you how to tell which items are good or bad and how to know which items need fixing with HijackThis.

It will also show you what these items represent in graphical form or provide a link to further information on the items so that you will know exactly what you are fixing.

Please note that not all problems can be fixed with HijackThis alone. In some cases you may need further help. In the tuturial I have tried to point out which cases this might relate to. If you find that your problem isn't solved by following the above tutorial or I have suggested in the tutorial that you may need further help then post your log in the forum.

How do you set it up step by step i had a problem installing it.... :scratchhead:

Just wanted to let you know that your site was very helpful to me. I, of course saved it to my favorites and will study it. You wouldn't happen to know by any chance how to permantly uninstall the "Home search Assistent" and its friends from a pc after they are unwelcomingly installed? Just checking to see if there is a sure fire way. ( case you already had experience with it). I posted a log on Sept 2nd and 3rd for help and got no responses. Thank you

I must say, this is an excellent tutorial! I'm a NetAdmin at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, and this has helped me to diagnose and fix dozens of problems related to spyware/adware/browsers. I can't thank you enough for how comprehensive it is, how straight-forward and non-supposing. Kudos to you! :cool:

Here's a site I found while trying to get rid of a nasty one. Think it's related to the z1.adserver hijacker. Donno for sure, cause ZoneAlarm is blocking the run dll as an app from running it, but all scans, Ad-Aware SE, Spybot S & D & PestPatrol are all coming up clean!

Anyhow, here's the link:

HijackThis log file analysis

Had a few false alarms, but had to "google" many, many fewer hits! :D
