repost on $%^&ing adware by unjust2005-05-16 09:16:16
  Go to MSconfig and tell it to not load by classic_jon 2005-05-16 09:51:14
Then reboot and when it puts the file to run websearch back in to the startup look for things installed in the registry/runonce that have changed. You can also search the HDD for files that were modified at that time period if it has a morphing installer. I really hate morphing installers! If you find the file it is reinstalling from you have to delete it and then reboot to find the ACTUAL folder with the install program that reinstalls it when it does not see it loading in the registry during startup. Sometimes it locks the files so you have to go in to DOS mode and change the permissions that way to delete it. Be prepared to spend a while in front of the Keyboard if you want to find it and get rid of it in the registry\morphing install file. The install file should have a really funky random name to it if it morphs BTW. Oh, an make sure you *BACKUP YOUR REGISTRY BEFORE* making any modifications or you may be S.O.L....I am sure you know that but...better safe than sorry.

Or, you can wait for the defininitions on adaware or spybot to get updated...usually takes about 2 weeks or so.
