zeropopup killer toolbar

A friend of mine downloaded this and can't get rid of it. He got it from zeropopup.com <[made unhot by admin]
It is not found in Add and Remove and it keeps nagging him to register.
How can he get rid of it ???

 

Have they used and Updated anti spyware program such as Adaware and SpyBot

If so the next step If possible have them post hear for help , and post a hijackthis log

Here's the spiel


Post a log from HijackThis

The current version is 1.97.7 [created by merijn bellekom]
Get it here http://mjc1.com/mirror/hjt/
choose save, NOT OPEN
Unzip it to a PERMANANT folder, Close your zip program, double-click HijackThis.exe,
and hit "Scan ".
When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log" button.
Press that, save the log, load it in Notepad, and copy its contents here. Most of what it lists will be harmless, even essential,DON'T fix anything yet please. Also If you've used it before please dont have anything excluded
No need to post the StartupList

Stop this from running.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [MyWebSearch Email Plugin] C:\PROGRA~1\MYWEBS~1\bar\1.bin\mwsoemon.exe

And remove this using Hijack.

O2 - BHO: Zero Popup - {2EF37A01-884F-11d5-AC99-B112050ECB4F} - C:\Program Files\add on prog\Zero Popup\HTMLEdit.dll

Go get SpyBot Search & Destroy. After installing, do the update before the scan. Remove everything already checked off in red. If it asks to run at next boot, allow it.

 

Stop this from running.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [MyWebSearch Email Plugin] C:\PROGRA~1\MYWEBS~1\bar\1.bin\mwsoemon.exe

How do you stop this from running?

 

Open task manager, locate mwsoemon.exe, highlight and end task. Then go to start>run and type in msconfig and hit enter. Click the startup tab and again locate then uncheck the box next to the entry.

Run HijackThis again and this time put a check beside this entry;
O2 - BHO: Zero Popup - {2EF37A01-884F-11d5-AC99-B112050ECB4F} - C:\Program Files\add on prog\Zero Popup\HTMLEdit.dll
then click fix.

Then run Spybot.

 

Did your instuctions via yahoo messenger and all is fixed. Thank you for your help.

 

I have another instance of this problem. Can you tell me which one to fix?

I assumed at first Zero Popup was a bad thing since you said cant get rid of it,, turns out its a good guy.. did you try to uninstall it through addremove programs/or look in its folders for and uninst.exe ,uninstall.exe
If you installed MyWebSearch willingly,, you might disregard the below..
I suggest fixing it,simply becouse some people find it installed all by itself, first always look for an uninstaller,, via its folders or addremove programs

Make sure hijackthis is in fact unzipped and make a folder for
it such as C:\hijackthis, and put it there. Close your zip program.

Place a check next to these items
Close all browser windows and shut down all other programs(even folders)
that show in the taskbar. Then Hit fix selected

If you would like to almost completely eliminate these things from installing in the first place, go get IEspyads.Zip. It will put a number of sites that does this into the Restricted Zone. Read through the webpage, it will explain it. The link is below.
If anything, the cookies that you or they collect will decrease, if you set to Disable or High everything in the Restricted Zone.
I use this file myself.

 

Good idea Mark62

You should also highten IE's security
if you have ever said yes to install a activex component
and checked the box to always trust them.. even when removed they will be installed again
In Internet options > content > then publishers(not certifacates)
publishers remove anything there except for micrsoft's
Better discription here

First and Foremost(that's what they say anywanys)
I don't like anything that redirects my web browser or search
engine.............If you installed this on purpose, well that may
be your problem, If you don't know about it, well that's a
problem too, No matter how convincing a website may be,if they want to redirect=======It http://www.sidestep.com/support/faq.html#e4must be a problem

 

In the HijackThis log, remove this. That site does show up in my Restricted Zone.

The guy with the first computer is now complaining about a popup that comes up whenever he opens Internet Explorer that Spybot is blocking Avenue A. Inc

How do I stop the popup?
