Hello!
I have that nasty Home Search Assistant and I can't get it off my computer! :scratch:
I would very much appericate it if someone could give me a hand in removing this sucker! :D
I do have both Adware and Spybot (updated both before this posting)

    We'll get rid of some other stuff first.

    Fix those entries then find and delete the files listed above, reboot and post a new log.

    After this, do not reboot normally or use Internet Explorer (use Mozilla or Firefox instead) until I say your log is okay.
