    I haven't had a chance to do all the steps in the sticky because this is a client computer that I won't be on until this afternoon. But i'd rather be prepared, this is the only spyware I have come across that all the tools I use won't remove for good. about:buster removes it but only for a few hours then it comes back.

    That is a BHO, Browser Hijack Object), which can be removed using Adaware, Spybot, Hijackthis, CWshredder, etc...(a combination of the spyware detection/removal applications should eliminate this)

    If not, let us know, as I have had to use regedit to remove this on a few occasions.

    I have ran all those tools and it removes it for a time but always comes back that same day. Thanks for the quick reply

    I already have. I did 90% of that but like i said I'm not at the computer right now its a clients. I will be there tomorrow afternoon (rescheduled). I just want to know if somebody knows that that EXACT spyware is so I can be prepared. A few of the things aren't an option like the online scan because they are on dialup. They have norton antivirus 2004 updated and I performed a full scan. All other spyware was removed.

    Do not run this from the desktop, any folder under documents and settings or from an archive. Place it in its' own folder (C:\HJT for ex:). Post attachments as TEXT (.txt) files only. No inline posting of log files. Thank you.
