Stumped by sticky adware

stop using internet explorer

i use sygate personal firewall. it will inform you when a program attempts to access the internet, you will be prompted. this way you can prevent/eliminate majority of the adware/spyware.

Panda ActiveScan tells me that nCase, ExactSearch, Look2Me and BargainBuddy adware have attached themselves to my P4 cpu. After running AVG, a-squared, spybot and ad-aware, and "removing" said adware, they are still present. Also, of course, looked in add/remove programs, and they are nowhere to be found. But here is what really puzzles me... I have tried to remove all this adware manually, by going into the registry, looking for scores of specific files, and have not found a single one of the files that should have been there. How can this be?

Hey Alan

I had nCase on my machine and it took me probably 25 hours to get it off. I started a thread here when I was having problems and on about page 5 of this thread the discussion turns to the Ncase item and it's relative, msbb.exe

Relative is obviously not right but the two are related.

FuturesTrader71 stepped in and you can see how much time he put in helping me with this thing. As the thread progresses you can see that I eventually get rid of it.

If you read through the entire thread you should be able to copy my actions and get rid of the Ncase item.

I ran the microsoft version and had 0 Detected. Then ran the ad-aware se personal and had 18 + 7 Mru. I also pay for" the cleaner" that web sit address is (www.moosoft.com). Hope this solves the problem. I use ad-aware everyday sometimes 2x a day.

Quite likely.

M$ Beta doesn't scan for cookies - AdAware does.

Imho PestPatrol is the absolute best solution - although I still run AdAware alongside.
