AntVir continually detects this on every startup, and I have to delete it several times before it stops reappearing, I was going to go through the list of recommendations posted by Rockford on Jan 9 but thought I'd better get some advice first. BTW, have had a lot of trouble with Ad-aware freezing on deep scan, and the support has been quite poor in their forum, some of the forum contributors have sounded quite angry, don't know if you are aware of this, if I have to do an Adaware scan I have a feeling it won't work.
Best wishes, and Happy Birhday!

Hi benaround3,

AVPE cannot eliminate this because it's not a virus. It contains trojans but is not a trojan itself. It's adware.

The "easiest" way to remove this is manually.

Description and instructions are here. http://www.doxdesk.com/parasite/nCase.html This product comes with uninstallers that keep downloading more uninstallers. Enough to make you cross-eyed.

Follow those instructions and you should be well rid of this thing.

Btw, this adware is exactly why the Staff here urge people not to use filesharing applications.


Best regards

Dear Prince Serendipity
Thanks for the advice, sorry not to have got back to you earlier, today I found time to follow instructions on the doxdesk site, and had an enjoyable nuking session.
May I ask you a couple of things here related to the doxdesk site?
In the same registry key (Local/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Run) I found
"Bulls eye network/bargains.exe" which keeps turning up on task manager as a running process, and also "Internet Optimizer/optimize.exe", both of which I associate with trouble. I was thinking of going through the same process to get rid of them, what do you think?
Also quick time player is there, what do you say about getting rid of that, too? I use Quick time player, but don't need it in my startup routine, which I associate this entry with.
Is this a good way to get rid of other adware such as "Backweb" which is also in the registry?
Best Wishes
Benaround

dont mind if i reply to ur quey ,
u first uninstall Internet Optimizer, BargainBuddy from the Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel....

and then scan computer using SpyBot SnD...
http://security.kolla.de/

after this download and run CleanUp!
http://cleanup.stevengould.org/

it's better that you post HijackThis log file in HijackThis section, just for making sure that all of them are removed...

yes, you can remove the QuickTime, easier way is , open QuickTime and from Edit MEnu, choose "QuickTime Preferences" and then choose "Browser Plugin" from drop down list, here uncheck the "show quicktime in system tray" option...

Thank you swatkat, i've done spybot and cleanup. I have hijack this installed, now how do I go about posting the Hijack this scan in the Hijack this section? There doesn't seem to be anywhere to do that.
