    Hi all! I've just completed the malware removal process for Yoog - thanks for those easy to follow instructions! - and the problem is probably solved but I'm a little confused about what to do now. I removed 3 spyware programs, which I noticed while using "add or remove softare" and I deleted a dll file located by Super Anti-spyware. None of the other scans turned up anything. This didn't solve the problem, but then I uninstalled Firefox and IE and re-installed them, and now everything seems fine.

    My question is: should I go ahead and do a toggle system restore (or whatever?) I've read on other sites that Yoog often reappears a few days after a reinstall, meaning that the problem might not really be solved. So would it be a good idea to go ahead back to the earlier point, or should I wait to see if the problem is really solved?

    Thanks so much, and sorry if this is a totally obvious q or answered somewhere else already...

    If you go ahead and attach the requested logs in a thread you start in the malware removal forum, one of us can check thru and see if any nasties remain.

    Oh..and don't toggle system restore until you know you are clean because a dirty restore point is always better than none at all :)
