Koroush is losing the battle
I decided to clean my main computer of viruses and spyware. It proved too frustrating for me so I called in Koroush as a hired gun. He's been working on it now for 3.5 hours, and its starting to look like even his magic touch won't excorcize the demons from my computer.
There are some damn good spyware coders out there... scary! Steve Lightspeed

and the lawsuits won't be filed against them - there are plenty of bigger fish with assets to go after.

Kouroush what's the name of the files you can't remove?
there are some excellent boards out there that cover pretty much any virus or spyware out there.

sorry i got your name mixed up with another person who posts here.
ok gName: phantasm40 Date: June 17, 2004 at 17:10:41 Pacific Subject: Home Search Assistent Reply: I had the pervasive little creation of some moron's making and could not eliminate it with any virus software or spyware removal prog. It also messed up my search programs. This put three new apps in my Add/Remove list...Home Search Assistent, Search Extender, and Shopping Wizard. To remove it I kinda got an idea from this forum of what to look for (thanks!!!), ran a 'Find' using the date feature (I had a clear idea of how far back to go because it was hijacking my browser) and found 16 exes, 8 dlls, 28 dats (all in either Windows or Windows/System) and a suspicious folder named 'ieki'. Most files were 5 digit jibberish, but some were longer ie 'ywnyqa.dat'. I highlighted all of them straight from the Find window and used a shredder to delete and wipe (not all were removed!) and went straight to my registry prog to clean out obsolete entries. Ran a new 'Find' and was left with three exes...iexm32.exe, apizo32.exe and ntcj.exe. I had to use an uninstaller (Cybermedia) that cleans the registry at the same time as deleting these files and reboots after each deletion because they were set in start-up (kill first with Ctrl-Alt-Del). You also have to be careful to view what is being deleted because it attached itself to other registry settings, one of which was my virus protection program...I just clicked off the deletion of those particular entries. Last I used 'Your Uninstaller' to 'force' delete the entries in Add/Remove for Home Search Assistent etc and used Spybot S&D to reset entries for seach engines...the bad ones were 'res:\\...dll'. Phew...no more problems or hijacking! PS: I also had a similar file named 'd3ym32.exe, but it's completely gone...all I have left is to reinstall my search program because it was rendered useless.
