How the fuck do I get rid of this thing? It has my toolbar menu greyed out. And I already tried searching my computer for this piece of shit. I deleted anything with "iSearch" in it but it's STILL FUCKING HERE.

Help.

Yep, Ad-aware is great. Before using Ad-aware, I would go through Add/Remove Programs from your Control Panel and remove most things that you don't know what they are. If you've recently downloaded Grokster or something that installs Malware, most of the bad files will have the same "Last Used" date and you can identify bad stuff that way. Then, definitely use Ad-Aware. The first time you use it, you will be shocked at all the crap it finds.

Try Hijack This or Spybot.

Ad-aware is ignoring a lot of spyware anymore
Inside each person lives two wolves. One is loyal, kind, respectful, humble and open to the mystery of life. The other is greedy, jealous, hateful, afraid and blind to the wonders of life. They are in battle for your spirit. The one who wins is the one you feed.

we don't have a dedicated IT guy in my office so i fake my way through most minor comptar problems people have

well one guy got promoted and inherited a comp from the person before him.. so i went in and cleaned shit up

i ran adaware and every time it got to a certain file the comptar would lock up and i had to reset it

finally i downloaded spybot and it killed the thing so i could finish my adaware nuke

happy comptar since then

moral of the story: spybot + adaware = awesome
compost the rich

Found out the only way you can uninstall it was by going to it's website and clicking uninstall :O
