Hey. some how i got a program called "Home Search Assitant" installed. When i try to unstall it it tells me to download a program to remove it. After I do that I try to run the proggy. It does NOTHING. Do you know a way I can force remove it?

It sounds abit like some kind of web browser toolbar. Possibly spyware of some sort. Update Ad-aware (which is what I use, but use whatever you have) and then run a full system scan.

So, it is a web browser toolbar (with one heck of cheap search feature)? Then most likely spyware, just run whatever program you have to fight spyware. The .dll extension is interesting though...

Before you scan with AdAware, check for updates of the reference file by using the "webupdate".

Then ........

From main window :Click "Start" then " Activate in-depth scan"

then......

click "Use custom scanning options>Customize" and have these options on: "Scan within archives" ,"Scan active processes","Scan registry", "Deep scan registry" ,"Scan my IE Favorites for banned URL" and "Scan my host-files".


EDIT: I checked, this is a spyware/hijacking problem.
