    a-search.biz spyware - how da fuck do I remove it? Any ideas?

    I tried HijackThis, Ad-Aware and SpySweeper and nothing.

    This bitch loads every time I start a new IE window. It seems to be a new thing. Anyone found a solution for it yet?

    I am pissed. It killed my googletoolbar as well.

      Format C:\ install windows again and use Firefox.

      Otherwise maybe F-Secure will help, catched lots of stuff other apps didn't.

                      no shit.

                      this one came from porn sites and since it's my job to surf those I got it. I thought you surf those as part of your job too or did you come here looking for porn?



                      If I got it, some other adult webmaster most probably got it too.

                          If you just got it recently, try using system restore.

                              Another option is Spybot Search and Destroy from http://www.spybot.info/en/index.html

                              Run it in advanced mode. Let it run it's course THEN go into the tools section and clean out any BHOs or Active X componants that you find that aren't marked as safe by spybot. Then check Browser pages and make sure they aren't pointing you off to spybot land. Once that's done, look at System Startup and uncheck anything that looks suspicous.
