I have the following programs in my tasklist and it is impossible to remove them from my computer. I have tried everything! Ad-aware, Spybot - Search & Destroy, i've searched these forms and tried everything said, even the steps given at http://www.doxdesk.com/parasite/CommonName.html didn't work. So if anyone has any ideas on how to get rid of these two programs it would be well apreciated.

Here is the logfile

and check against what you have loading in O4.

I found an easier way but I'm not sure whether it was a fluke or not but I'll explain how I got rid of comwiz.exe
I went to my main drive, clicked 'Program Files' and then located a folder called 'CommonName'. Inside this folder there were two more folders, 'Address Bar' and 'Tool Bar'. You will see the exe programs there but you will also see an unistall utility. I simply clicked on them and they were unistalled.
Simple?Blue.

looking for some help. i have attempted everthing listed here and still can't get rid of this. Anyone have any ideas? I even went to dos and tried to delete teh files...said it was being used by another file..and said access denied.
here are the files i can not get rid of..
c:\program files\commonname\addressbarbabe.dat
comwiz.exe
dfs.dat
exit.dat
fws.dat
rws.dat
winnet.exe

Hi all. I'm having a problem with this too. I can't even run MS Word anymore. It just hangs and then i have to reboot. Well I just ran hijack this. I really don't know how to interpret the log so any help on what to remove is much appreciated:

For removing those exes go to ADD/REMOVE software in configuration. Remove "commonname". You have to be online. You'll be connected to commonname. There you''ll be asked if you're sure.....If yes then you can download an uninstall-tool.

(Windows 98) I found that this winnet.exe could not be killed, nor could the startup entry be deleted from the registry. Each time you remove the startup entry it gets re-written; each time I killed winnet it would be restarted. If I tried to delete the winnet.exe file I got an access denied error.
There was no uninstall script in the folder.What I ended up doing was I wrote a very simple .bat script with the delete commands in it and registered this script in the Run Once registry location: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce]
I then restarted - the run once entry caused the .bat script to execute, thus deleting winnet.exe before it could be started up from the entry in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]. At this point I was able to remove the winnet.exe startup registry entry as well.
(Maybe I ought to upgrade from Win98 someday - I think I'll upgrade to Linux ...)
