Help me kill ISEARCH please.

My homepage was changed to isearch.com I have an ISEARCH toolbar that I can't get rid of.

No idea where it came from. Snuck past Norton Internet Security, and it is not showing up on Adaware scans. I guess it might not be true spyware, but it is software I don't want and can't seem to shake.

There is even an 'invisible' IE icon that will close the toolbar when clicked, the furthermost right blank space isn't actually blank. Toolbar is open on any new windows.

When I try to rightclick on my toolbars, they are 'greyed' and I can't uncheck. No Isearch in the add/remove programs, of course, nor are there any programs I don't recognize.
Further to that, I can't find any related name under regedit hkey_local_machine-software.

Please advise.
Thanks.

try that, it's spybot. there are some instances that adaware can't pick up and spybot does, and vice versa.

i'm lookin up the reg hacks for the toolbar. have you tried running regedit and doin a search for isearch.com?

Thanks.

I tried spybot, although the only thing that it objected to on my computer was my adaware.

As I mentioned above, I had already checked
regedit hkey_local_machine-software

and I found nothing but I rechecked, searched, and I've found it.

hkey_current_user - software

Now, is it just a matter of searching out all references on the HD and deleting it from the registry?

edit- further- how do I delete a .dll that doesn't want to be deleted? msconfig selective restart?

this says spybot will get rid of it. Maybe they have a better idea.

Start in safe mode. Run a search for files named (insert program name here). Select all. Delete. Restart in normal mode.
