how to remove bloody begin2search?
« on: December 06, 2004, 08:34:33 pm »
help my IE6 browser has become infected with Begin2Seqarch toolbar.

How the hell can i remove this junk?

whenever i go and search in yahoo and click on a link that has info on how to do it. it seems the bloody spyware intercepts and displays an error message page instead of the selected page.

i want my browser back. what files need to be deleted?

least i had avant browser installed!

Do a Google for "begin2search""removal" and look for something by MajorGeeks

You've got spyware/scumware/adware.  They'll be able to tell you what to do better than what we can.  You'll probably need to DL a prog called Hijack This to report a log so they can help you, but that's what I had to do.

Spybot may remove it for you as well, but do the Google search first.  After you've got it removed, DL Spybot (along with its plug-ins for home page hijackers and another one I can't remember) and Ad Aware and run 'em periodically.

I promise that it's still on your PC. 

Not the whole program, but little craplets on your computer hither and yon.

There are alot of specific instructions for manual removal on google.  I suggest you give those a try:
