My dad somehow got this scumware installed on his computer. I have just spent a couple hours trying to rid his laptop of it to no avail. I am very hesitant to do a reinstall because 1. its not my computer, and 2. he has alot of software from work that I don't know much about. Does anyone know how to remove this crap? [EDIT] Got it fixed, thank you all for your help![/EDIT] Matt Newman

Have you search the registry, files, and folders for "Home Search Assistant" and variations of it? If you know the exact date this started happening, you can search for files that were created on and since that date.

The first thing I thought after reading the subject was of an assistant that searches your home for lost items (keys, wallet, cds, kids, pets, etc...) :laugh: Alas, I was disappointed :sigh:

I saw Ad-aware Cloak 1.0 on the site you linked to. It hides ad-aware windows from spyware that searches for the ad-aware window and shuts it down. This stuff is way beyond insane. I can't imagine how normal users even use their systems once this stuff gets on there. :omg:
