Hi all,

On my add/remove program page I have two programs I did not install (intentionally anyway) and cannot uninstall. They are called Search Extender and Shopping Wizard. When I try to remove either of them I am directed to an internet page with a "uninstaller" program that doesn't work.

Adaware, spybot S&D, bazooka, avast, norton, and spyware blaster have all failed to get rid of them. In point of fact they don't even notice them.

Please help!!
Dave

I'm guessing that those two might have of came in one package. I've read on and searched google and it said that it would be best to do a windows reinstall. There seems to be no good manual removal at this point in the game.

Always looking for techs:

I'm no expert but I did stumble across this which looked promising:

I also got the general impression that the about:blank fixes could work for this one. If the above link doesn't help it might be worth searching Google for about:blank (bags of hits, even without using Google Groups if I remember rightly).
