    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.
     
    incase you want to know what it does is say i wanna go to *link removed* right?
    i type *link removed* it then says something like:

    Did you mean to type *link removed*

    then below that it shows ads. the browser url is something like res://bmaut.dll/index.html or something
     
    Sounds like a browser hijacker perhaps? I?m not too apt on this stuff, but you should certainly try what he suggested before you do anything else~
     
    Usually when you open a program and it does nothing, it's a trojan horse x_x
     
    its a cheap search and hijacker.
     
    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.
     
    Well, that's good news ^.^
