Finally killed that stupid toolbar

Unknown

Hi all,
I don't know if this will help anyone or not, but I'd thought I'd show how I killed that omegasearch thing.

my log, after using adaware, shredder, and spybot, was this:

-Now I followed all the steps that were in the updated removal guide, but still had that toolbar showing up. It's because I had to delete these two guys:
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {A6C42A16-C360-12D8-6903-467A560CF931} - C:\PROGRAM FILES\DATA SHOW\SECOND FLAP.DLL

and

O3 - Toolbar: rulecopytitle - {A228E8FE-77F2-E57B-BBAC-6F9062F9FBD0} - C:\PROGRAM FILES\DATA SHOW\SECOND FLAP.DLL

I didn't get them at first because they were different from the standed pattern, which was "04-HKLM\..\Run: + [randome title] + "PROGRA~1" + file name.exe"; main differences being that "PROGRAM FILES" was written normally and the beginning wasn't "04-HKLM". I also had to delete the "DATA SHOW" folder that these files came from. After that it was gone. I spent 3 hours running all my spyware killers, rebooting, going into safemode, unplugging my modem, etc...

So yeah, I don't know if that will help anyone else, but I'd just thought I better post it regardless. That thing was a huge pain.

Welcome to Short-Media, Stranded

Thanks for the info, if we see more users with that variant, we will post the data to our updates page. Glad you got through it.

We hope you will stick around in our forums, we have a lot to offer here

Dexter...

Still have a few more things in there:
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer,SearchURL = http://www.wwwsucking.com/main.html
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {EBCDDA60-2A68-11D3-8A43-0060083CFB9C} - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\NZDD.DLL

Remove these to save some resources:
O4 - Startup: Adobe Gamma Loader.lnk = C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Calibration\Adobe Gamma Loader.exe
O4 - Startup: Adobe Gamma Loader.exe.lnk = C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Calibration\Adobe Gamma Loader.exe
O4 - Startup: Microsoft Office.lnk = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\OSA9.EXE

Yep those things will kill your RAM. It will also unclutter some of your system tray as well.

Ah, merci beaucoup!
