$20 paypal to the one that can help me get a toolbar off my computer!

[OY]

I got a TOOLBAR installed even though I clicked on the X to close the installer. Now that is just fucked up.

Now it does not go away even when I use both SPYBOT and ADAWARE and I am starting to get pissed as they dont even give correct information on how to uninstall the shit (even have popup ads on timer)

The companies providing the toolbar:

http://www.thecoolbar.com/terms.php

and the company behind it is

http://www.blazefind.com/license.html

and the help section is flat out lying about the uninstall.

Now, I am not adverse to toolbars in itself, but I get pissed when they lie about how to uninstall them - at least give us smarter users a chance! (this might sound redundant - LOL)

I will give $20 via PayPal to the first one that get me the REAL uninstall method for this toolbar and all the shit that came along with it.

I am running the only prog. I havent tried http://www.2-spyware.com/remove-coolbar.html right now and if that does it, we have a helping hand winner in xclusive

[Trixxxia]

Try the Add/Remove - if that doesn't do it.

Check what's running in the background - note them, shut them down.

Click Start->Run->type msconfig
Check Selective Startup - then go to the Startup Folder - if any of them have references to the filenames that you noted above - uncheck them -> click apply & then Exit without restart.


Click Start, and then click Run. (The Run dialog box appears.)
Type regedit

Then click OK. (The Registry Editor opens.)


Navigate to and delete the keys:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{83DE62E0-5805-11D8-9B25-00E04C60FAF2}

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{83DE62E 0-5805-11D8-9B25-00E04C60FAF2}

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\
Explorer\Browser Helper Objects\{83DE62E0-5805-11D8-9B25-00E04C60FAF2}


That should help you

[OY]

JEEZ - this thing is catching an AMAZING amount of stuff that the others didnt...

About half way through the scan right now and counting a bunch!

Bulletproof Spyware Remover to the rescue.

The first time I ran it I had JUST RUN Adaware and Spybot. Bulletproof found SO MUCH that neither of the other two picked up on.

I bought it right then and there.

Dont think this is hoops - he HAS uninstalls that works.

But if it is he, then he will let me know I am sure of :-)

The Spyhunter software was a BUY version, just bought it (another $30 out the window)

Have to re-run it to know it all worked. Be back in 5 here again

[nmcog]

You should:

1) Format C:
2) Use Mozilla Firefox 1.0
3) Use Mozilla Thunderbird
4) Install Google PR & Alexa status extension
5) Re-discover the World Wide Web

[Spunky]

I hate those programs that you have to buy before they remove it..Of course they are going to find "severe" items to get you to buy it

Yeah, I actually use that, but then there is another MICROSOFT fuckall that happens when I use OUTLOOK for my email and click on a URL in a mail - IE always opens up NO MATTER how I setup the access programs settings.

God damn it! LOL

Im hungry now, send me my $20!!! I want to go to burgerking!!

[OY]

Damn, this thing got some attention - very good guys!

Now make a LOT of fucking money by going to this thread and submit a competition form for

$10.000 worth of stuff!!! Seriously!

http://board.gofuckyourself.com/show...adid=389973&s=

While I sit here and twin my thumbs while my brand spanking new SPYHUNTER is re-scanning my system - fuck, I hope it works this time!

[Wilber]

First off one doesn't need to spend money to kill spyware, especially toolbars.
Buggering around in the registry is lame because the actual files are still on
the hard drive.

Download HijackThis, scan, save log, and post log here and I'll show you what to put
checkmarks on to remove. In the meantime shut off system restore and reboot.

[OY]

Still scanning my damn PC

xclusive - more than likely the money goes to you - I will confirm once this thing finish.

In the meanwhile I will watch LOST on Tivo :-))

you dont get any gay unwanted toolbars on mac's baby!

[OY]

OK. So so far I have gotten double fucked. The spyhunter that I was recommened and thought was going to do the trick did NOT and I paid for the fucking prog.

SCREENCAP this morning:



So now what do I do... the advice given in this thread all seems smart, but I dont have time to try them all - which one of the above do I try and really work?!!??

HELP!

$20 is still on and available

[Manowar]

apple.com/store

best advice ever!

[OY]

Manowar - almost convinced.






NOT!

[Trixxxia]

I suggest you try mine

[candyflip]

Why are you still using IE? That's the source of ALL your problems.

Stop using that piece of shit and your problems will disappear.

That should help you

(BTW, if you're getting the haha123; it should be the reverse of '}'

[doober]

this should get rid of it quickly:

To manually remove coolbar you can rename it, but it will still have values in the registry

so go to the start menu, click run, and write: regedit ( to open the registry of your computer ) ,

then look for : HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/CLSID/{2342 DB04-08CE-4CF6-976D-BD9EFA960EFB},

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/CLSID/{9056A11F-5EA6-4A67-BDE9- 8D3C7C453DAC} and

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/TypeLib/{549AD 254-492D-42B5-8909-34F14348D4BC} and delete them

after deleting these3, restart your computer, now delete the folder C:\sysfwb

If you cant delete the directory reboot in safe mode and do it that way

good luck

[BlueQuartz]

i can get rid of that thing in 5 minutes

you want an app called 'hijackthis'


it identifies everything that is installed in your broweser and you can tick and remove

icq 520682 if you need some help

Use system restore and select a restore point prior to the day you got the toolbars.

Half the problem with these damn things is that they change your search and home pages so that even after your spyware removal program does it's job, you get it right back again by simply launching the browser. System restore will put things back to the point where all of your browser pages are what they should be.

As someone else pointed out, the files will still be on your hard drive, but who gives a fuck.... if they aren't being accessed then there is no problem.

or you could just use hijackthis and remove it in 5 minutes as opposed to 30

[OY]

I just got the fix and it was NONE of the above guys!

Here is the ONLY solution that worked: http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm

AMAZING!

Since there were so many good advice here I will split the $20 in two between the two solutions that came the closest.

"vixm" and "xclusive" will get $10 each for good advice.

"vixm" - I sent it to you already

"xclusive" - I need your paypal information!
