Help with uninstalling several Spyware programs

Nov 18, 2004 8:34AM PST

ok, I know how to remove spyware programs and I have Ad-Aware as my spy removal program, but there are 3 programs I cannot get rid of( Home Search Assistant,Search Assistant-my Search, Shopping Wizard) I go to Add/Remove programs to un-install it and it brings me to a webpage where im suppose to download the un-installer for the programs. So I download the un-installer and I run it, except nothing happens and the spyware programs remain. I need to get rid of those 3 programs so I can use AIM again because with those 3 programs in my system, Everytime I send or recieve an Instant Message, AIM crashes on me. Could somebody please help?

You should probably post this in the Virus and Securities Forum which is onthe link I'm going to post. I have another link that should rid you of the home search one but I think you might need more help that just that so I'm not going to post that here yet.Hope this helps you some.

No problem mark LOL. About:buster will get rid of ONE of his/her problems but it sounds like they might need more help than that. AND BTW, you missed 3 or 4 posts meant for you yesterday from me, Marianna and Glenn about compliments for YOU that you missed. LOL. You should check it out, If I remember correctly it was on the Spybot thread that I started LOL. Grin
