Re: HJT sir search is the pest that wont die said by irisheyes921:
Ok, i really dont know much about computers. what does rogue and DL mean?
Rogue means it's a questionable program, that it might create more problems than solutions (Yes, self-espoused anti-virus and anti-malware proggies exist that can make problems worse!) DL simply means "DownLoad", meaning download the software to your computer. Good luck with your issues! 
And please keep at it if things aren't curing your problems. There are lots of knowledgeable and helpful people on this forum. Someone at sometime will be able to give you the information in order to clean you computer. |

@dsl.irvnca.pacbell.n | 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!
Adois! |

| 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. |
