buy Spyware Doctor, scan a couple times and then
"rename wiatwain.dll to something else (i used aaaaaa to locate the file easily) and then restart and delete" this part seems to do the trick after Spyware doctor had taken care of everything.
or do it manually. my time is worth a lot more than $30 though.

thanks for helping me kill this virus....allthough spyware doctor managed to get most of the infection..there still remained the wiatwain.dll file...which can reactivate spywarestrike....do it manually, change its name and kill the mother!

I removed everthing manually but when I Looked up HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerBrowser Helper Objects{27150F81] the code#{27150F81] was not the one foud in regedit! Should I delete it anyway!? Anyone!

Microsoft Antispyware {beta1} is free it did it for me. Has no one else found it this easy? Or am I missing something?

The other thing that needs to be added is the removal of the files mssearchnet.exe, nvctrl.exe, spywarestrike.exe, ss_setup.exe from the windows prefetch folder as well,

Microsoft Antispyware got rid of some of the problem but I had to delete a load of the registry keys as above. Some of the files were already gone. Seems to have fixed it. THANKS!!!

One Tip...
Do This Kind Of Removal In Safe Mode!!!
68. by Guest. 2006-01-21 08:01:47
worked with no problems little tip ide like to leave for people not used to doing this is to use the find feature (Ctrl+F) helps find those files in the endless reg list just need to enter like the first few numbers once u get to the directory they are in and it saved me a lot of time ... l8er

Removed the beast SpywareStrike, with all its elements. Finally dumped my long time protection (Norton) which I paid for and installed my free EZ Armor Security Suite which is provdied free to all Time Warner RoadRunner Customers...
After installation... all problems resolved... including the icon in the tray.

all you have to do to get rid of the virus spywarestrike is open a new user account on your computer log on with that account go to start menu use find and locate wiatwain.dll in c:windows systems32 and delete it if that dosent work rename it and log on again and then delete it the key to doing this is opening a new user account and using that account and that will be the end of your problems

Thanks to Guest 2201/2006.06:01:38 - very simple (and cheap) solution. Just remember to give the new account administrator status.
Now that my secondary objective for this trojan is seen to, I can now move onto my primary objective. Quite simply, I am going to track the dog down who is responsible for this crap and ensure he never does such a thing again. Can anyone help me with his name and home address, please.
72. by Guest. 2006-01-23 13:01:51
ya, it keeps saying the files mssearchnet.exe is write protected and cannot be deleted, i downloaded the software aimed at deleting this file, and still no luck, there is no "write-protected" check box on the file properties, can anyone help me?
73. by Guest. 2006-01-23 15:01:14
I tried the new user trick, but search does not find the file wiatwain.dll anywhere. Now what?
74. by Guest. 2006-01-23 17:01:48

Had the same problem as others with mssearchnet.exe, nvctrl.exe and the trick of the new user account was of no value.
However, started in safe mode (F8 during start up) and was able to delete the files - no problems.
Try this and let me know how it goes.
78. by Guest. 2006-01-24 08:01:33
i didnt manage to find any of these files not even in the new account or in the safe mode. please help

I have found a variant which uses replmap.dll.
80. by Guest. 2006-01-24 13:01:32
I followed this procedure but had no success. Based on the comment after this one, I too had the variant that uses replmap.dll. Deleted the file and it seems to have removed the popup from the system tray.
