Abd4253 - DirectWebSearch.net

Hi there,

My IE homepage has been hijacked by "directwebsearch.net" and I can't seem to get rid of the thing. Plus, it's added a toolbar search, not only to my browser, but also my Windows Explorer which is highly annoying and makes me feel like this: :banghead: I won't lie, I did that after fighting with the friggin thing all weekend and it kinda made me feel better!

I've run both Ad-Aware SE and SpyBot (With downloaded updates) but they do nothing but remove useless spyware and the "directwebsearch" is still there. Below, you'll find the text of my "Hijack This" log. I'm running Windows 98 with SBC Yahoo! DSL and a Zone Alarm firewall. I purchased Norton Anti-Virus 2005 but couldn't get it installed so I downloaded McAfee and it removed a number of trojans but missed the "directwebsearch."

Any help from the gurus would be very much appreciated!

    I haven't opened IE or anything else where I saw "directwebsearch" or the Advanced Searching toolbar for fear of "re-awakening the beast" so to speak.
