    I have mysearchnow hijacking my browser and I cannot remove it I have tried everything...Adaware SE personal, Microsoft beta, Spybot S&D, Pest Petrol, Spysweeper...the list goes on...

    I have tried deleting the offending files from the TEMP directories but they just mutate and come back...

    I am running Spy Sweeper which attempts to block the hijack but I have an attempted hijack every three seconds,,,pretty tiring and annoying...please help....
    Is there something I can delete in the Registry....This is the first time I have written in and I'm not sure how to do these postings...please please help...desperate!

    Hi Gais,

    Generally, it is a good idea to start with the Cleanup Tutorial below. If you have any questions about the process, just post them in this thread and somebody will try to respond in a timely manner.

    READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan and Virus Removal

    There are only a few of us Volunteers who regularly offer advice in this forum. Running through the above Tutorial will remove a lot of stuff that would otherwise clog a HijackThis Log and save us valuable time.

    Please let us know the steps that you are able to complete and the ones that give you problems. Note that you need to be in Safe Mode with System Restore OFF (if you have it) and have the Viewing of Hidden Files ENABLED as per the instructions in the link. Make sure to do the Online Scans.

    Post back and let us know how you fared. Also, send us a HijackThis Log. Please be sure to follow the instructions below:

    Note that your HijackThis should be up-to-date (v1.99) and MUST be extracted to its own safe folder – C:\Program Files\HijackThis!
    Should you need a Fresh Download of HJT, get it HERE: HijackThis v1.99

    Also note that, before you scan, you MUST close all running programs including your web browser, e-mail and items in the system tray.

    Please save your HJT Log as a .txt File and attach it via the "Manage Attachments" tool in the Additional Options section when you post.

    I’ve been tied up with work lately and cannot visit this forum too often these days, but somebody will try to take a look when they get a chance.

    Best luck :)
    PP

    PP or myself will look at your HJT after you do the READ ME.
