Try CWShredder. It worked for me. No more annoying Searchpage browser hijack trash (fingers crossed).
Also try downloading Spybot, it's good and it's free!
re-start your computer in safe mode. Go to my computer, local disk (c:), select windows,select system 32, find ia.dll. Right-click on this file and delete it in its entirety.SUCCESS !My question: is this file unimportant enough to just delete it ?
Simple. Run AVG from GriSoft. It's free.
All Trojan horses are hidden files so you would need to go to the Files Option (click the View tab)at Control Panel and uncheck both the *Hide file extension for known file types & *Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)-boxes, then OK yourself out. You will then need to restart your computer and and go into Safe Mode by holding the F8 key down -(kind of at the beginning of bootup). When you're at the DeskTop screen go to Start/ Search/ For Files and Folders and type up the NAME OF THE FILE & EXT (i.e.- ia.dll), you can delete this file from here.
I have had 4 Trojan horses on my C drive and kinda figured out the above method a week ago. I deleted the Temp file from the Restore folder after unchecking the hidden files boxes, then went to SafeMode to delete what virus files that were still there. My computer is now absolutely FREE of these pests!

It will tell you what it is en how to deal with it.
This is not an actual virus, but Norton has detected a series of them. On my machine it stopped me from contacting Symantec or running Live Update. Here's how I got rid of it: 1) turn off XP System Restore 2)Get to Symantec through a "back door" sarc.com,click on download, update virus definitions using "Intelligent Updater" 3)restart computer in safe mode, 4) run a full system scan and delete al files detected (I had 26--none named "bloodhound," mostly spyware--5) clear the temporary Internet Files, 6)restart computer in regular mode 6) enable the System Restore.
I've been fiddling with this for a month and was about to fork over $40-70 to Symantec to walk me through the process. Getting the live update through the Intelligent Updater was the key. You can't do anything without the update.
well i got rid of it by finding where the virus was withspy doctor free addition and then deleted the files quite simple really
I also face this problem when i copy 1 file to my home PC, but this virus seem to be not detect by my office laptop which have AVG antivirus installed. It only detect by Norton. So, i also not very sure is this a virus? I have been using AVG for many years and it seem to be very reliable.
