Home search assistent problems

Having problems getting rid of home search. Have tried several strategies including ad-aware and aboutbuster with no success. Wondering if hijackthis is the next step or if somthing else should be tried.

 

Well this is a long quote from major attitudes thread: "Note: about:Buster and HSRemove need only be run if you are having about:blank or HomeSearchAssistent hijacks. Also, note that HSRemove is not compatible with Win9x or WinMe systems.

These final 2 OPTIONAL steps require you reboot back to normal mode.

5: OPTIONAL: If you can not remove the stubborn "Only the Best" aka "HSA" HIJACKER please view this thread by Chaslang, an expert in removing these things, can be found here: http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=38772

6: OPTIONAL: Scan With Hijack This; If you have gotten this far without success, you may need to download Hijack This!. Taking a few minutes to read this tutorial is required before posting a logfile so that you can get the most from it and make it easier to diagnose. Please post your logfile as an attachment when asked only.

Make sure that you tell us in your post that you've already followed the instructions on this page so we don't waste your and our time by posting a link to it in your thread. Also, it would be helpful to indicate what kind of problems the above steps have found and fixed (or failed to fix)."

So if you don't have windows 9x or ME you can try HSremove (mine found 8 of them when I used it) good luck. Of course it should help to follow all of the steps in major attitudes thread " READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal" and not just these three steps.
