Help! My browser settings have been modified behind the
scenes to automatically redirect the browser to
iquicksearch.com whenever I go to a web site that does
not exist (i.e. mistypes whatever). I have cleared the
registry of all references to this vile site; I have
cleared cookies and history in the browser; I have
performed an Ad-Aware search, which revealed no hidden
spy programs. I am at my wit's end - where is the
setting that is causing my browser to be nefariously
redirected??!!!

Thanks,
Eric
 
Here is a possible answer that may have worked.
1) Clear all instances of "iquicksearch" from your
registry

2) Go to Control Panel/Remove Programs and look for a
nefarious program called "surebar". Remove this !

3) Search for "surebar.dll" on your c:\ drive. If you
find it, rename it.

This seems to have more or less worked for me so far,
although no guarantees !

Deleting surebar.dll as suggested may may not work for you. It's part of
this parasite.
Do not know if it references "iquicksearch"
