I keep getting a Spybot registry entry change that no matter what I do it keeps popping up every 30secs or so. It is a "Browser page" Entry--search bar problem. I have no idea how to rid my system of this. I've ran AVG and spybot with system restore off then reboot.......comes back. EVERY TIME !!! I have no idea how to find where this annoying thing is living and how to get rid of it. I deny changes but it keeps respelling itself with nothing that is even a word. How do I get rid of this without reformatting ?

Thanks V
 
What is the Registry entry?

If it "it keeps popping up every 30secs or so" then it is very probably being recreated by a continuously running background process. Look in the Processes tab of Windows Task Manager and see if there is a process whose name matches or very nearly matches anything in the contents of the Registry entry.

Also, find/download/run the free HijackThis utility. It is very good at finding things like this and letting you eliminate them.

Other free utilities that you might want to look at are RegCleaner and RegCool - if you haven't already done so.

Help needed with Search Bar entry

Hi guys,

I have a problem here and I need help badly. :(

Recently my spybot keeps popping up this registry entry change and ask me if I want to accept or deny it.
The entry is classified as such:-

Category: Browser Page
Change: Value change
Entry: Search Bar
Old data: www.setetyreutreyutr.com/werewtewtrgherty ...
New data: www.qqerwertewtywreytrt.com/qweqqwerwtr ...

A look at my task manager's running process shows nothing suspicious.
However after running HijackThis v1.9.7.7 I get the following log:-

I believe the entry in RED is the entry that is giving me this problem but after deleting it, it only take 30 secs before the entry is RE-created.
This shows that there is a background process spawning it but I can't find and/or remove it.

Please advise!
Thanks

Raymond
 
Follow the start-instructions for D/L and install from any of my other Begintosearch-posts.

Uninstall Kazaa

I would let HJT clean out all those O9 Extra buttons. They will come bach as and when you use the proper programs.

Then run HJT and let it fix:
