Re: HJT sir search is the pest that wont die This is how I got rid of Sir Search. Found it on another board:
go to start, than run, than type regedit, than OK. go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Than go to software. Than microsoft. Than internet explorer. Than go to toolbar. It will have reg keys for all ur tool bars. do not delete the default one. i did not know which reg key it was but i guessed and it didnt do any harm to me when i deleted some that werent it. to see if it was the right one. delete it than open a NEW internet explorer and if it doesnt work repeat the steps again. Remember not to delete the default one. Hope this helps!

| i have tried this and it does not work for me.these above instructions do not work for me b/c i am not trying to rid myself of a "toolbar" so to speak. my problem is that if i type a url in the address bar such as "google.com" or "yahoo.com" rather than "www.google.com" or "www.yahoo.com" it redirects me to a stupid sir search page. if i put the w's in there, then i will be taken to the appropriate page. fact of the matter is, i know that on any other computer, it is not necessary to add the "www" and i find this quite irritating.
i'm not an expert, but i consider myself much more knowledgeable than the average joe when it comes to computers. i have done everythign i can in the registry, msconfig and with adware/spyware removal programs, but i can still not rid myself of this horrid issue. my "log" is clean and i have no viruses. i have even gone so far as to chew out someone at an email address i found on Sir Search's home page.  i would appreciate any assistance. |
