My optimizer stayed on there for about a day, then a little alert box came up that said "this will remove internet explorer from your system. Are you sure you want to do that?" or somthing like that.
but after that i was able to remove it
but i found out that it was the yahoo pool cheat from hotcheats.net that my brother downlloaded. DONT GO THERE.
it also infected my compy with 5 other viruses (i manged to remove 4, including internet optimizer)
but theres still this annoying one called autoupdate that wont go away.
i hate it when people think its fun to ruin somone elses computer. thats pretty low class.

It drove me mad but I finally got rid of it by downloading Ad Aware of the net. It is an excellent piece of software that finds all the spyware on your machine and then deletes it for you. The best bit is that the software is free.
24. by an anonymous user. 2005-04-01 00:04:22
i cant believe, with all my 100s of dollars of virus protection software i still managed to get it :(
oh well, considering all the dodgy sites i go onto...

If all else fails, start your system in safe mode and then goto C:\Program Files\Internet Optimizer and delete the dirty little SOB that way. Was the only way I could get rid of it
26. by ST. 2005-03-24 06:03:34
Thanks for the tip pete..that optimizer site should be hacked and bought down from the net!

If anyone is having trouble deleting Internet optimizer the first thing to do is to stop the programme from running. In windows XP you can do the three fingered salute (Ctrl Alt Del) and go into task manager. In the application tab you can stop the application running. Then you will have to go to the Processes tab and you will see under the column "Image name" the file " optimizer.exe. Highlight the file and right click and select "end process". You should be able to then delete the folder "Internet Optimizer". Remember to empty the recycling bin.
If you dont have windows XP facilities I use a nice little programme named Taskinfo2000, which can be found at www.iarsn.com. You simply run the programme and Highlight the file optimizer.exe. and right click and select "end process". You should be able to then delete the folder "Internet Optimizer".

Like the stupid company really thinks they are going to get hits to their sites, as well as sell any products or services by hijacking your system... This is worse then monopolizing. This is an out right virus to your pc...... But there is nothing you can do about it because we all know where you got it. Probably included in that illegal download you did.
35. by HadeS_73. 2005-02-05 16:02:52
If justice was for the people it would be hitting yogee instead of p2p , not only it install without my permission , but i can't uninstall it trough stander window uninstall . anybody got a real street addresse for those yogee ..? if you do e-mail me : hades_73@msn.com

I agree with the comment that the advertising industry and specifically the creators of the spyware should be held fully liable for the damage caused by their creations. They may have a right to pursue their trade and profession. They do not have a right, however, to trespass upon and, effectively convert, others' property, such as a computer or computer network. Thought for the day: I'll bet this could be seen as fraud, or violation of state or federal computer crimes statutes.

Hi, i guess i was not the only victim of this Internet Optimizer rubish thing lol, i have no idea how it got to my computer but i guess its not me to blame sinse u all had the trouble, i hope ppl who monitor internet will sort this optimiser, i have e-mailed yogeeee company who is linked with the internet optimiser their e-mail is webmaster@avenuemedia.com you can e-mail to that person whoever and ask why it always comes up, i said to them to tell me how to get rid of this rubish, hopefully they have strength to reply well take care all.
38. by Harley Kelchner. 2004-06-06 01:06:51
All software of this nature should be viewed as a direct attack on all personal rights and the developing companys should be held HIGHLY responsible since this software does little other than create major system malfunctions.
The advertising industry should have THE largest class-action lawsuit brought against it for their blatant missuse of public interests.

This software is nothing but SPAM. It provides NO useful function and redirects the screen away from the intended URL to a commercially oriented 'error' page when there is no actual error.
