How do I remove search2web from my PC?

Um.. Get adaware (A program that scans your computer for ads DOWNLOAD PAGE) Perform a full system scan of your pc and this should deleted any spyware/ads on Internet Explorer etc..

If you need a spyware elimination program get 'noadware' ( Kill popups & Viruses - Free! DOWNLOAD HERE)

Also check out this post on A2K forums. This person had the same problem as you. SEARCH2WEB POST. - This will probably resolve your problem, just follow the instructions.

Hope these two programs and post can crack your problem. - Post back if you need further help and I will see what I can do.

Thanks for your advice ---- I already have adaware but am waitig for don77 to give me some instrucitons on the text files (logs) that still need some cleaning up.

Thanks and good luck!

You may not find the seek dart save.exe but look for it just the same and if found delete it and any associated folder with it please

Restart your computer, Post back a fresh log please along with a fresh silent runners log please

Hi Don77,
I did as you said, ran lop uninstaller (again as I had done this the very first time before I contactedyou), updated HJT and ran it --- I did not find any of the files you said I should check and fix. I then rebooted in safe mode and again did not find the files you said I should delete. So rebooted and ran HJT (log below) and Silent Runner (log below).
What do I do next?
