Have you tried running Ad-aware and Spyboy S&D in safe mode? Also try running Spysweeper. It gets some things Spybot and Ad-aware don't get.

Answer to question 1. Change your homepage. It is under Tools-Options. I am not sure on the other two questions. You may try deleting that Dumbthirddeaf file in dos. Sorry I couldn't be much help.

For spybot after you have updated and scanned and found huntbar, make sure that you click fix selected problems. For adaware make sure that after you are done scanning that you check off the items to be removed (rightclick and select all will work here) then click on done for it to remove the items. by default both of these programs will NOT remove anything that they find without telling it to.

Also huntbar could be reinstalling itself from the homepage. If you aren't able to change the homepage, let us know.

In regards to deleting the program "DUMBTHIRDDEAF" make sure that it isn't running in the background first. This program may be in your startup so starting in safe mode as propaganda mentioned will help prevent it from running.

Hope this helps.

Try running spybot and adware after booting into safe mode. If that doesn't get rid of it, try this:

How to Remove Huntbar?

This software can be removed through the Add/Remove Programs menu in your Microsoft Windows control panel. Use the following steps to uninstall your Huntbar:

1) Click Start -> Settings -> Control Panel, and the Control Panel window opens.

2) Double-click on the Add/Remove Programs icon, find the entry 'Internet 404', 'MSIETS' and/or 'Tools for Internet Explorer'.

3) Select the program entry as described above and then click on the Add/Remove button and follow the on screen instructions.

4) Delete the shortcuts it adds to the desktop, start menu and favorites menu, and set your search and home pages back to normal. To do this, you need to open an Internet Explorer window, then click Tools->Internet Options->Programs->Reset Web Settings).

If that doesn't work, type the following into the run box (from start-> run):
regsvr32 /u 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\MSIETS\msiets.dll'
regsvr32 /u 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\MSIETS\mslink.dll'

Then clear you Temporary Internet files and uninstall from the control panel again.
