Reply: (edit)I am having the same problems. Many customers are bring in their PCs for me to get rid of this. I looked at Symantec's response. Take a look at the first registry entry that Symantec lists. Notice the new string attached to the end of Guardian? (mine is GuardianHZRCD) I tried to remove this registry key and noticed that the ending string (HZRCD) changed. This may be a new veriant of Zestyfind that is attemting to stop AdAware and Spybot S&D from removing it.

Reply: (edit)I had no luck removing this nasty pest. So i sent an email to info@look2me.com which is the group benfiting from zestyfind according to Symantec( I think). They sent me a URL to go to for an uninstaller. It required a exe download, but I decide togo for it. Seems like it worked, no new problems according to Xoftspy or Panda AV and nomore zestyfind. gmd

Reply: (edit)It has been a week now since I used the unistaller and many problems have dissappeared and no new ones have arrived, so I think it is al legit. I am running Xofspy and no new incursions have been detected since unistalling.
http://www.look2me.com/cgi-bin/UnInstaller They will then suppy a code you need to run the uninstaller and a link to download it. Hope this helps. gmd
