Removing Trojan Search Hijacker

Shut down machine and its back. Arrrg!!

Why do these guys bother with this kind of shit. How many people actually use their crappy search thing and end up buyin the crap spyware removal stuff there peddling by infecting you with spyware first. The amount of work involved in designing these sysytems to continually get around security systems, adblockers, adn antispyware could be put towards much better ventures. Idiots!!!!

Hope no one on this board is involved in this kind of crap. I have been infected in the past by similar ones i've caught from surfin porn. Keep your sites clean and you will always make more money than by constantly hitting people with popups or viral crap. When surfers encounter this shit they WILL NOT COME BACK AGAIN! as im sure most of you know.

Sorry for the rant.

They would be hunted down and have a 55 gallon drum of whoopass unleashed on them.

If it's coolwwwsearch or something like it..it is a MF to get rid of. I got hit in Sept from a submitter and it took me until Dec to get rid of it.

Robbo's suggestions are the ones that did it for me. I used Spybot S&D with hijack this. The Spybot forum is very helpful too. If you post your results from hijack this they can tell you exactly what/where its coming from.

Another point is using IE. There is so much crap that is just targeted for it. I use Mozilla/Netscape for everything except a final check of my sites before submitting.

I hear there is a new MyDoom out as well. In the immortal words of Deadwood: Cocksuckers!!!

Good luck with this.
