First I would like to thank Dexter and anyone else that contriuted to the HSA removal guide. It was very helpful and I probably would have tossed the machine out the window had it not worked.
I do, however have one question. I took all the steps in the guide, ran Ad-Aware, Spybot, and virus scan. HJT seems to have worked, and the hijack is gone. I have restarted several times and launched IE and the home page stays the same. However, the program entries for HSA, Search Extender, and Shopping Wizard are still in the Add/Remove programs list. When I try to remove them, I get an error that says "Unable to open 'http://looking-for.cc/uninstall/shoppingWizard.html'" and the option is the click OK.
How do I get rid of these entries, or did I make a mistake and not completely rid myself of this nastiness? Thanks again for all the help.
