Hi
I have been fighting all day with greatsearch.biz
At the end, I found that the last version of Ad-aware has an antidote against it. I updated Ad-aware and did a smart system scan. I deleted all the results given by this scan (many included greatsearch related files). The greatsearch.biz has stopped trying to hijack my browser but there are still these unpromising dl.exe dlm.exe mstaskss.exe and msstasks.exe files in my windows directory. What can I do?
Create and Unzip to a folder not your Desktop or the Temp folder, doubleclick HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".
Unzip the download (using a piece of software like: Winzip)
When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log" button.
Press that, save the log in a text file, and post it in the CCSP "Spyware - Hijack Related" forum:
