hi ppl i got this spyware called best search on my laptop and im not being able to remove it can someone help. :nw: : :
go in safe mode..... run Ad-Aware/Adblaster/MS Antispyware ...whateva....with latest updates u'll get rid of most of the files..... if that doesn't work.....do this..... when u dial up to a connection....keep the task manager open and look for suspiciously spawning processes.....note their ID and kill them Then look up (do a search in) ur registry for the same ID ....and delete all the keys associated with that ID . Further..... look especially in these folders...with view set to show all files including hidden and OS critical.... c:\windows c:\windows\system32 c:\windows\restore c:\windows\temporary internet files......don't look manually into this ....do a search also look into cookies for username@adapplication.com...ot whateva....here username is ur username in XP and Adapplication is in ur case bestsearch. delete them and clear ur browser cache. Then look into folowing registry folders hkey_local machine\software\microsoft\windows\run hkey_local machine\software\microsoft\windows\runonce hkey_local machine\software\microsoft\windows\runservices hkey_current_user\software\microsoft\windows\run hkey_current-user\software\microsoft\windows\runonce look for the "\software\microsoft\windows\run" folder in every section of registry delete any suspicious IDs u find in here.....most critical ones are decribed beside the actual key so u won't delete them ....the spyware is most probably named antiware or something of the sort DO NOT delete atleast these... hkcmd, igfxapp, imapp, navag phew......!!and lastly report it as new spayware to thw Anti spyware site so that next time they probably have the update for this.....
