I had to use a couple of the ones you have-- +

intermute.com (Spysubtract is program you want there)
Microsoft spyware tool
grisoft.com AVG virus tool
pandasoftware.com online scan

Be sure to use the advanced tools on these too.. it helps.. especially for restoring your browser

Good luck

I got rid of the about blank with the first program.

Now I have some other " Trusted Sites" that I can not get out.
I changed them in IE to block them, and then I delete them from the trusted, and then they pop right back up. The sites are:

@@@@@@@@@@@

DO NOT GO TO THESE SITES PLEASE!

*.frame.crazywinnings.com

I hear they are trying to fasttrack some laws in the states for this but who knows what will come of it.

For now I am just making surfers aware of the programs available to help them(too bad it takes so many programs to come close to fixing it)

FireFox is no less vunerable to exploits than any other browser and as it gets more popular you will see that.

I have seen. A few sites that try downloads for firefox get a little bar across the top that says something like "this site tried to do something to your browser, if you're really stupid click here, otherwise click cancel". No unstoppable dialogs, no sneak ware. Much easier to avoid. And if they do manage to get something in, I'll be over on the mozilla site, posting about it and getting a fix.

Somebody stole my damn signture...

Oh yeah, the T&C clearly stated that I would get barraged with numerous spyware and trojan programs, including coolwebsearch among MANY others.
It also stated that these programs were nearly impossible to uninstall and would reinstall at any given moment. Nice try

You resort to name calling and belittling, for what reason? Most people do this as they feel a bit inadequate.

I simply stated facts, if you have a problem with those facts, well then, it is your problem.

At any rate, you have nothing of substance to say, so I believe we will have to agree to disagree.

I am done 'communicating' with you, justify yourself however you want.

You can set any web page to be your Desktop. Perhaps you did it accidentally with a blank page. Try this (on Windows XP):

1. Right-click on your Desktop
2. Select Properties.
3. Select the Desktop tab
4. Click on Customize Desktop
5. Click the Web tab
6. Is your Current Home Page (or any other) selected as your Desktop? If so turn it off.

I hope that works.

perhaps if you weren't trying to keep the content without looking at the ads (beaking the TOS and for all intents and purposes stealing) you wouldn't have had such a hard time getting rid of the ad component. breaking the TOS to make your point is typical of your kind.

resort? nah. actually, name calling and belittling is at the top of my list when it comes to chumps working out of their bedroom explaining how multi-million dollar companies should be operating.

you read the TOS, you agreed, you clicked. not sure what part of that is my fault but then you bedroom warriors have your own ideas on failure and who's at fault.

Most of what 12clicks says is entirely true.

You agreed, you clicked the "OK" so its your tough luck

BUT

If you cant uninstall the software then its not software its "spyware". Find the maker of the software , and contact your attorney generals office "fraud team ". they are ACTIVELY pursuing the makers/soliciters of such software.

I have yet to find an attorney general that isnt DIRECTLY available for contact..

BTW they will most likely either forward the compaint to the attorney generals of the state in question ( of the offender not the reciever ) or have you contact them yourselves.

Dont expect a quick solution , but expect ACTION. Keep bugging them.
