    Hi.

    I am new to this forum.

    I had the problems described in https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?p=163341 and after running some spyware cleaners, I seemed to remove the main .chm file and generally tighten up Internet Explorer security.

    I also had a search bar program install on the computer and used the uninstaller provided to remove it. It seemed to be removed except I am still getting http://www.master-search.com/top/date/ loading up every 15 mins or so.

    There must be something that is invoking this page!! I have done numerous scans with various spyware programs and cannot find the problem.

    Does anyone have any tips or suggestions of what I can do to remove this annoyance?

    I can't see any of the usual installers but all these CWs hijackers are quite sophisticated

    please do this

    Download and run this program :

    http://tools.zerosrealm.com/pv.zip
    Please unzip it to the desktop. It will not work if you run it from inside the zip.

    After unzipped go to the desktop. Open the pv folder. Double click on the runme.bat

    A dos window will open. Please select option 1 for explorer dll's by typing 1 and then pressing enter.

    Notepad will open with a log in it. Please copy and paste the log into your post.
