My son had a search bar called Mysearch and I have not been able to get rid
of it all. I have got SpywareGuard which keeps on popping up every 10-15 seconds with warning. I also have Spyware blaster and Spybot search & Destry and now also PestPatrol and none of them seem to get rid of this. See log below. Software is XP Pro. I have downloaded Firefox, but the warning comes up soon as the PC is booted. I have delted in registry everything to do with MySearch. Thanks BROWSER HIJACK ALERT - BROWSER PAGE CHANGED On 01:58:57 11/07/2004 a browser page change was detected. Registry Location: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\ Value Name: Search Bar Old Value: <none> New Value: http://zrgvpeckuzwv.com/p//bD_QczasO...2iA/M2i4ai.cgi User Action Taken: RESTORE OLD VALUE |
