I some how picked up a search bar called I SEARCH. I can not remove it. I
have found many items on the web that detail how to remove it, but....here
is the crazy part....This spyware picks any site up (somehow) that relates
to the removal of it, and will not let me access this page! I have
downloaded the patch on another computer and changed the file name and tried
to load it on the infected computer: It still recognizes it and will not
let me open the file!! I have tried spy bot and many other programs and it
does not pick this spyware up.

The pop ups are the worst, as it will not let you close them out. It simply
pops open another when you close it out, and again and again.....It also has
changed my home page to "about blank: I SEARCH." I change it, and when I
close the web page out, it re directs my home page back to it!!

I can not think of anything else to try. Please help!! I hate to even use
the infected computer anymore, as it is causing me to about put my fist
through it.

Thanks for the (hopefully) upcoming replies to rid my computer of this
trash.

Mike
