Surf Side Kick Removal

drfly

I need some help removing a persistent SSK that no program wants to remove. I have updated and ran S-S&D, AVG 7.0, Ad-Aware, and Norton AV 2005.
I have followed instructions, but it is always back on there when I reboot.
please help.

Sorry about the crazy delay. We're working on beefing up our SWAT TEAM staff. Do you still need help with this issue?

I'm not really sure, but I think this may be related to this thread:

And may be closed out. If it's still a problem, I found this for this specific problem that you might try:

Goodbye Surf Sidekick

Of course your other thread should address any other issues that you had.

I think you have two down and both threads can be closed.
