Summary of the EliteToolbar Remover:
A lot of people around Internet are having problems with one of the latest Elitetoolbar malware variants.
Actually some software like Spybot v.1.3, CWShredder v.2.12, Noadware, Adaware v.6, SpyNuker 2004 and SBC Yahoo! Anti-spy have no-success in deleting this very frustrating malware. These programs find and delete it, but it keeps coming back since this new variant is very hard to be cleaned from the operative system.
The main problem is that the malware creates a lot of registry entries and it goes in execution at the start of the pc widing itself in RAM and deleting its own *.exe from the C:\Windows\System32 directory.
When the ordinary tools try to remove it, they only clean the registry calls, the C:\Windows\EliteToolbar directory and the cabinets files where it has been originated the first time, but they don't take any actions against the malware itself that is currently running in RAM memory and is waiting for the pc O.S. to be shutted down to repeat the infestation from the back!
This new version of the EliteToolbar keeps all the previous disadvantages brang from the CoolWebSearch malware and some new ones including pop-up windows at every 2 minutes, permanent block of the Google Toolbar (if eventually present), redirecting of any instances for Google's and Yahoo's web-browsing needings, and so on...
