I think they're talking about the first post. I tried doing something for the other one, but I forgot how, so I just put it in brackets.

$%^#$^#$%^@@!%(*&(&*^$'ing goodness! I can't remove it. I've tried like every single darn spy/adware remover, including Nortorn, Spysweeper, Ad-aware, and Spybot. Nothing works. They say they delete it. I search on google again for a d w a r e (I'm not screwing up this post =/), and it gives me the lycos results once again. I'm very, very pissed off right now.

here's the link to Spysweeper http://www.webroot.com/wb/products/spysweeper/index.php

*sigh* I tried it already. They say it's deleted. It's not. At least if it's not that that's wrong, then it's something very, very similar to that adware that I just found on my computer.

follow these steps to remove the savenow hjacker, similar steps apply to other hijackers.

I really can't strees enough how NOT using IE and switching to Mozilla Firebird/Netscape Navigator 7.1 will help you with this problem. IE is literally used as a highway into your hard drive by trojans, virii and hijaclkers of all sorts. Most hijackers and trojans use popups, which are automatically stopped by Firbird/Netscape.

I've tried Spysweeper. It doesn't work. =/ At least, either it doesn't delete things or scan things properly, as I can scan two times in a row, right after another, and the second time I'll still have crap on .

-> Savenow removal step 1) If you want to uninstall, you can do so easily through the add/remove function in your control panel.

Okay. It just isn't there, darnit! I've opened up the thing. In no place does it even remotely say anything that could be constituted as an adware (ie: all of them are games or hardware that I've installed)

While this isn't for the faint of heart, have you searched through your registry? It might be buried in there, waiting to come back.

At least for the stuff that were mentioned in the websites, yes. Nothing.

ADD] I have now scanned my machine at least 5 times using each of the following programs: Spysweeper, Spybot, Ad-aware 6, and Norton. Only Spysweeper and Ad-aware 6 showed problems repeatedly, but Spybot only found problems the first time. Spybot was unable to delete the thing for some reason, and Norton found two for the first time. After I manually jacked the things out of there, then it didn't find anymore.

All you can do is hope that the Government, or whoever, decides to crack down on Spyware/adware users.
