Annoying Blue Search Bar

[Jas0n]

Hey guys, im new here to the forums and i was wondering if you could help me with re-occuring problem. Everytime i open my internet browser ( Internet Explorer ) there is a blue search bar always popping up. I have included a screen shot of wat it lo0ks like. Its near the bottom of the screen, just ontop of the toolbar.

Hope this can help you guys figure out my problem. Thanks a bunch in advance.

[Daninku]

Huh!!! I had that too, really annoying, I don't understand so much logfiles, but first, the easiest way, fo to add/remove programs and see if there's something like search assistant or my websearch, or something. I can see you have spyware doctor, that should remove it

[brad]

Press Ctrl/Alt/Del and "End Task" or "End Process" on each of the following: (They may or may not be there)

SoftwareMapi.exe
WinFixd32.exe
kernel-mon.exe
msconfg.exe
For ball enc.exe
Does Gram.exe

Turn off System Restore. (Turn it back on after this is repaired and you've rebooted.)
(This would also include the “GoBack” Program if it is installed.)
Close all other open Windows and have HiJackThis Fix:

Go to Control Panel / Add/Remove Programs and remove the following if they are there:

Spyware Doctor
DAP (Download Accelerator Plus)
MyWay
Desktop Sidebar
Pop error warn

Now delete these Folders or Files that are Highlighted: (You may need enable "Show all Files" and disable "Hide System Files" in Windows Explorer / Tools / Folder Options / View Tab) (You may have to boot to "Safe Mode" and rename them, in order to delete some Files/Folders)

C:\Program Files\DAP

C:\Windows\System32\WinFixd32.exe
C:\Windows\System32\kernel-mon.exe
C:\Windows\System32\msconfg.exe[/b]

Now, empty all your TEMP Folders (WinXp has up to 4 of them) / Temporary Internet Files Folder and then empty your "Recycle Bin" and reboot.

Hi Jas0n

I was looking over your logfile, it seems you have 2 Anti-Virus programs installed.

C:\Program Files\Eset\nod32kui.exe
C:\Program Files\Symantec_Client_Security\Symantec AntiVirus\DefWatch.exe

I strongly suggest you uninstall 1 of those.
NOD32 is a definate keeper, I myself switched from Norton to NOD32 and am very pleased

Also for that program in Add/Remove that you get error when trying to remove......


Sometimes when you uninstall a program, the corresponding Add/Remove entry is not removed. This may be due to incomplete uninstallation or the poorly designed uninstaller itself. To remove the invalid/orphaned entries from the Add/Remove applet manually [Windows 2000/XP]

1. Start Registry Editor (Regedit.exe)
2. Locate the following key in the registry:
3. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
4. Make sure you backup the keys by exporting them to a .reg file.
5. Look for the name of the program with the orphaned entry.
6. Delete the entire listing for the software with the orphaned entry.
7. Close the registry editor.
8. Restart your computer.

Orphaned entries are those whose uninstallers are not available [but the registry entry might point to the actual uninstaller file]. You may also see errors like "missing install.log or uninstall.log" while trying to uninstall from Add/Remove Programs. The install.log/uninstall.log contains the uninstallation information about a program. When you remove a program from Add/Remove Programs, the log files come into play and remove the corresponding software entries from the registry and the files in the hard disk.

If the LOG files are missing, you may need to reinstall the application again (in the same path) and then try a clean uninstall again. In some cases, the application might be removed, but the entries may still exist in the Add/Remove Programs list. Orphaned entries are usually a result of a system restore rollback operation. Use the above method to remove the Uninstall entries.
