| 344359 | 2005-04-13 06:30:00 | I dont know how, but the Hotsearch web page has taken over my computer, and sets their page as my home page. I have done a lot of research on this and cant seem to get rid of it. I have windows 98 if that will help you any. Do you know what I need to do to get rid of hotsearch? | grady (7879) | ||
| 344360 | 2005-04-13 06:36:00 | Get adaware www.lavasoft.com or spybot http: Also check add/remove programs. See if Hotsearch shows here, if it is uninstall it. |

| 344361 | 2005-04-13 06:47:00 | I have both adaware and spybot, and neither one of them get rid of it. It is also not on the add/remove list. | grady (7879) | ||
| 344362 | 2005-04-13 07:01:00 | 1. Start Command Prompt in the Accessories menu of your Start Menu. 2. Type in: (c:/windows/system32/regsvr32.exe /u winhot32.dll) EXACTLY as it's seen inside the parenthesis 3. You should get a system message saying that winhot32.dll has been unregistered Open IE and reset your homepage. |

| 344363 | 2005-04-13 19:38:00 | safari, I tried typing this into the command prompt, and all it did after I pressed enter was go back down to the next line that says C:WINDOWS> I even copied and paste what you said to put in there after the C:WINDOWS> as well as tried it without the c:windows part of the insert b/c it is already listed automatically. Am I still doing something wrong here? I never received a message saying that it was deleted! |

Try the following, one should work. Note the spaces 1.Open command prompt in accessories. Type c:/windows/system32/regsvr32.exe /u hsrb.dll Or c:/windows/system32/hsrb.dll An alert will tell you hsrb.dll has been unregistered. For a full list of all the variants and what to type in at the end go to this link www.doxdesk.com |
