Use MySearchNow Uninstaller |

I am also a victim of mysearchnow but my security setting prevented me from downlaoding Mysearchnow Uninstaller. How do I reset my settings to get this uninstaller? |

I can't think of a way to stop the unistaller, but try this. I know how annoying this is - I've had it twice on my PC - I'm 14 years old! Thankfully, I found a solution after about 4 hours of failure! It's very long, but it seems to work on most PC's. Give it a try, but use it AT YOUR OWN RISK. It's not really dangerous, but if it fails, you may do something dangerous!
Go onto the Internet and if your normal home page has been changed, go to Tools, Internet Options then change the home page back. Then go to "hijack-this.net" (sounds like a virus, I know). Download it then install it-but DO NOT run it yet. Now go to "www.bmesite.com". Download Internet Sweeper and install it. Open it and press "Sweep Now!". Press okay then close it. Now close all Internet windows and go into Local Disk, Documents And Settings, your name, Local Settings, then History. Delete everything in the History folder. Go back and go into Temp. Delete everything here. On my PC, one item always remains. If this happens to you, ignore it. It's nothing to do with the annoying bar. Go back to Local Settings and go into Temporary Internet Files. Empty it. Everything here should disappear. Now go back to Local Settings. There's a file in here called "temp" without a capital "T". Empty this folder if it's occupied. Once this is all done, DO NOT open Internet Explorer. This will basically just undo all that you've just done. Now run Ad-Aware SE Personal (if you need to install it, go to "www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-Personal-Edition/3000-8022_4-10045910.html?part=dl-ad-aware&subj=dl&tag=top5" then install it. Run ALL 4 scans. Obviously delete all that comes up, then go to RegEdit (Local Settings, WINDOWS, regedit.exe). This is quite dangerous because it contains all the important Windows components but if you know what you're doing and looking for, it's okay. Keep flicking through the folders in RegEdit until you find an item called something like MySearchNow.exe or GoSearch.exe. Delete this. Make sure it's the right thing though!
Now open the Hijack This you installed earlier. Press "Scan" then delete anything and everything to do with My Search Now. Close Hijack This and re-open it again and scan it again. If it has reappeared, just remove again.
Restart your PC then run Hijack This for the 3rd time.
Now keep your fingers crossed and open the Internet. Now, it SHOULD have disappeared. If not, I'm REALLY sorry this hasn't worked, don't give up.
Good luck! |
