I used the aumha.org site to look for parasites. My computer freezes and
when I restart it says IEDLL.EXE is corrupt re install. The aumha site says
I have "BargainBuddy/Apuc" parasite. Also "IGetNet/ClearSearch" parasite and
"ISTbar/XXXToolbar" parasite. However, I am unable to get the "Information
and removal instructions". I have Windows 98se on a Dell Desktop. Please
help. (Cable connection). Norton av. No firewall at the present time. I had
trouble with ZoneAlarm. It is still installed from months ago but it is not
on. Thanks.

Gordon,

For ISTbar

BargainBuddy/Apuc (file>find>type Apuc>third one down)
http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/Darnit.htm

Igetnet
http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/darnit_2.htm

Then, after this get your firewall back in service, get a decent Antivirus
program, and a spyware, adware, malware scanner. Make sure you have applied
all the proper updates and patches for your PC from WINDOWS UPDATE, and not
from stuff you get in the "mail".

When you clean the others have a look at this page and follow the security
measures.

P.S. if you do a lot of surfing I would recommand a firewall. ZoneAlarm is
free.

I am having trouble getting rid of 'Igetnet/ClearSearch' parasite. I went to
the instructions: They gave me a list of installed files that I was supposed
to rename. When I went to search-files and folders, none came up. When I
pulled the registry and put them in search - almost all came up under
Hkeycurrentuser/software/microsoft/windows/explorer - I don't know how to
get the full trail - when I click on the left side the values on the right
that match the ones I am looking for disappear. Anyway, they are named
a,b,c, etc. up to j. "a" is "" which is not on my list. One item
"winstart.exe is on the list twice. Are these the installed files I am
looking for? Should I delete them or rename them? The instructions at the
top of the page say to "rename installed files" and at the bottom it says
Delete references to: winstart, winstart002,winstart001.exe. Are they
talking about the registry? Thanks for your help.
I seem to have gotten rid of ISTbar but I have a program and files called
"ISTsvc" Should I remove it. It gives me a warning that some other software
might not work if I uninstall it. Thanks

Gordon,

That ISTsvc is also an item you don't want; it is adware. Get rid of it.

Adware.ISTSvc
http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/ven...re.istsvc.html

Same with Winstart

IGetNet-Browser Helper Object and a process run at Windows start-up
(WinStart.exe or WinStart001.exe) which writes to the Hosts file ...">

Winstart.exe

If the pest is difficult to remove you should then try a full virus and
spyware/malware/pest scan.

PestPatrol On-line scan

In my prior response, I provided links for utilities to aid you in
detection/removal of unwanted freeloading vermin. Have you pursued those
links, and obtained any of the programs?
