I can't remove the malicious process "mssearchnet.exe" using either the Windows Task Manager or the "C" prompt. The process simply returns, but with a different PID number.

Help!

Hi, sws! Welcome to 2-Spyware.com forums!

You should reboot your computer into Safe Mode, delete all the registry entries related to mssearchnet.exe (they start the processes every time you kill it), then terminate the processes if it's running and then delete files that launch it. I guess you're trying to get rid of the SpyAxe trojan, aren't you?

P.S. Please stick to the forum rules! The Site discussion section is only for suggestions, questions and remarks related to the 2-Spyware.com project, not for parasite removal questions! Your topic will be moved into the appropriate section.
