cableghost Posted June 10, 2003 Posted June 10, 2003 I recently was 'infected' by lop.com (not a virus)- it replaces your default search methods, etc. Ever since it installed itself and after I uninstalled it, I cannot execute a search from my address bar.I will go into my Internet Options and make the proper adjustment in 'Search from the Address Bar', close the dialog and reopen a new MSIE ... same result and it resets itself to not search from address bar.Any thoughts? There must be a place in the Reg to make this adjustment if nothing else.Scott
nekkid Posted June 10, 2003 Posted June 10, 2003 http://www.lavasoftusa.comGive Ad-Aware a try. You may also want to try a Registry cleaner...give me a min to find it. MSNWar posted it a while back I think. I'll put it here as soon as I find the post...
cableghost Posted June 10, 2003 Author Posted June 10, 2003 Though I have ran ad-aware, it still occurs. Thank you.
vcant Posted June 10, 2003 Posted June 10, 2003 did Ad-Aware found anything?it might removed the the adware, but it will not restore your setting back to normal.i really dont know how to set it up, but can offer you a nice tool, witch was included in Windows 98 (i think) and later removed by microsoft, it allows you to search from address bar using any search engine you like (you set it up in setting)so if you type for example 'g cableghost' it will search google for cableghost
rik Posted June 10, 2003 Posted June 10, 2003 Assuming that you are running XP, have you tried a System Restore?
XPerties Posted June 10, 2003 Posted June 10, 2003 GOT DAM LOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I got there uninstaller, that is suppose to uninstall it, but once in ahwile I will click on a link and it redirects me to there got dam site. This crap comes with MSN Plus, the new version.

cableghost Posted June 10, 2003 Author Posted June 10, 2003 rik- I have not; not a big enough issue to do a restore, besides, not all reg keys are updated, etc. even with a system state backup/restore. Thank you though.

vcant Posted June 10, 2003 Posted June 10, 2003 this is one of the reasons why i like MSFN forums,you DONT get that kind of responses.....
XPerties Posted June 10, 2003 Posted June 10, 2003 OMG, I just read it.........hahahaha. That the most professional way I have ever seen a response to a member.Not to mention they are trying to make something of there software. hahahahahahah
