Removing Home Search Assistent

Unknown

Hello

I've recently found Home Search Assistent on my computer and I'm trying desperatly to remove it. I've read your information on it and I am having a difficult time understanding what needs to be done (There seems to be a long list of instructions that I'm having a hard time following). I'm posting my log here (I downloaded HJT and scanned and saved the log) and I hope that someone will be able to help explain what to do from this point. Thank you.

Then pull the plug on your computer and post a new log.

I did as I was instructed to, but the files you told me to delete were not present. I did however, close the log and did it again because a friend was trying to help me. Maybe the files just renamed themselves. Anyway, I'm leaving HJT open with the present scan log on it so that I can come back to it and remove what I must. Thank you.

Another thing, you can't reboot your computer until I say it is OK. Also, please try to keep only one Internet Explorer window open (and don't close it and start a new session), since that may cause the files to rename too.

All that I've done to restart my computer is pull the plug after I fix and remove the programs [hard reset], and then I start it up again by pressing the power button on the front of the computer. I'm not sure if that's what you meant by rebooting. The only time when I need to close IE is when I fix the problems; BHO requires internet windows to be closed before removing/fixing the files. Hopefully I'm not making it too complicated for you by doing the wrong things (this is very well possible in my case) ._.;

I was able to remove the files C:\WINDOWS\system32\mfczb32.dll and C:\Program Files\Windows AdTools\ and after I sent them to the recycle bin, I then emptied it.

I use the windows search to help target the files but the others were not found. I did however find two versions of two of the files (NTEU32.EXE-352D78BA/pf and APPJS.EXE-1C93E353.pf) but I did not remove them incase they were not the ones.

PS. How long does this process take anyway? I'm just curious to know. I really appreciate your help.

SpywareShooter

Yes, those .pf files are the ones you want to get rid of. This process has no time on how long it can take. I've fixed it on some computers with one shot, and others with 20+.

C:\WINDOWS\vbvrn.dll and C:\WINDOWS\systw.dll could not be located and therefore could not be removed.

Fix those entries then find and delete the following files:
C:\WINDOWS\vbvrn.dll
C:\WINDOWS\sdkhg.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\appjs.exe

If you can't find them, try enabling hidden files and folders. Open "My Computer" and the path from there is something like this: View»Folder Options»Files and Folders»Hidden Files and Folders.

Once you've done that, reboot and post a new log.

Only one I found was the C:\WINDOWS\system32\appjs.exe file and I deleted it. Still no luck with the others, though I have set my options to show all hidden files and folders.

Could find both those files to delete them. I'm assuming this is going to be one of those situations where we'll have to do this 20+ times :/

Yes, I did set it to show all hidden files. C:\WINDOWS\system32\gjmrc.dll was not found out of the four. The rest were deleted.

Fix those entries then find and delete the following files:

C:\WINDOWS\d3yf32.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ierm32.exe
C:\WINDOWS\nteu32.exe

Then pull the plug and post a new log.

Thank you so much for your help. After you didn't respond for a few days, I took things into my own hands and solved the problem myself (and might I add, I was very proud! ) I ended up going through my C:\WINDOWS and C:\WINDOWS\System32 folders and deleted a bunch of files that were created in the past two months. Home Search Assistent no longer appears in my Add/Remove Programs list and after I got rid of it, I ran Spybot, Adware, and Norton just to clean up. Thank you again for taking me through the first major steps. I couldn't have done it without your help and it is greatly appreciated. Take it easy!
