Hi All, A few days ago I was helped to remove this netsetter spyware from my computer. The problem is, I keep deleting it and it keeps coming back. My computer is a little sluggish and I am not sure this netsetter is causing it. I would like to remove it from my machine, so it don't come back. I would appreciate further help in removing it from the communication sector of my computer, again, I appreciate your help and input, charlie

Netsetter can be a real pest to remove. Don't wish it on anyone. Sometimes it keeps comming back, over and over. Give us some feedback on what method you used to try to get rid of it, and we will take it from there.

Hello FZWG, I tried to remove it from the internet options, net properties, connections, lan settings, keeps reappearing here also rechecks the in use auto config script box. The language preferences area, it reappears twice in this sector. I have deleted the inserts a number of times, but they keep coming back, adding a very long web address in the lan settings. I was wondering if you would know another place where this is hiding to reinsert itself everytime I remove it. Thank you again for your help, charlie

charlie, Let's start with something simple and see if it helps. Do the following: -Click Start -Select Run... -Type in NSCheck /uninstall -Click OK. Also, there is a program called PestPatrol that may be instrumental in removing this thing. Take a look here: http://www.pestpatrol.com/ If the above measures do not do the job, will have to get the heavy artillery for this one. Post back. Maybe someone else will also jump in with help. This is not an easy one.

Hi again FZWG, I tried the routine you gave me and my computer did not recognize it. Would you believe as I got to computing.net, that outfit marketscorce the owner of netsetter wanted to plant a cookie in my machine. When I saw that I checked to see if their trojan horse was inserted back in my computer, and sure enough, there it was, with the box checked also. I am wondering if I added an address of some website, with the checkmark, if it would write over it with it's own address. One problem I don't know what address I could insert there, that wouldn't scrabble up my computer anymore than it is now with this invader. Thanking you again for your help, charlie

charlie, There is a hidden uninstall feature for this beast. If the NSCheck /Uninstall did not work, try opening a command window and enter (for Windows 95/98/Me): "%WinDir%\SYSTEM\NSCheck.exe" /uninstall (All in one line) See if that works. Also, don't know if you are in shape to download Spybot or PestPatrol. Do know Spybot is free. Don't know about PestPatrol. Post back again. If the command option or Spybot do not work, post a new thread titled: "Netsetter taking over!!", or something to that effect. Netsetter/MarketScore is spyware veiled as an "Internet Accelerator." This software causes computers to lose their browsing ability after simply changing how a connection to the Internet is achieved (i.e., dial up modem to broadband access). In computers were Netsetter modifications are done, browsing abilities may eventually cease to function, though connections and pings are still possible. After trying several options to remove this beast, sometimes removing files and making registry edits are the only resort. As you are finding out, getting rid of this thing is a bear.

Hello again FZWG, I have been on the net for five minutes and have removed it twice in these 5 minutes. After I finish typing this I will look to see if has reinstalled itself again. This netsetter is like a bad dream it never goes away. It's amazing that it can check that box too. It was back, thanks for staying with this, I will try that uninstall sequence you gave me. Maybe I should download pest patrol as a backup or spybot, I appreciate your help in getting (hopefully) of netsetter, charlie
