[WinPartners] MS Search Bar in IE - Followup

[Bob Kaynor]

Kerem:  When I rechecked Spybot the two HuntBar entries (which I had 
"fixed" previously) had returned.  I elected to fix the two HuntBar entries 
(again) along with the three IE registry changes.  Spybot reported that the 
fixes had been made, but when scanned again (after rebooting), all five had 
returned.  This is a little distressing, particularly since the HuntBar 
bots capture forms entry re- purchases, etc (according to the Spybot info; 
there's nothing for the IE entries).

I don't have time now to explore the registry changes or possible fixes 
further, but any info would be greatly appreciated.  The persistence of the 
HuntBar stuff make this more than just an annoyance, as far as I'm 
concerned.  Are those likely related to the IE registry changes?  I've 
appended a .PDF file with the Spybot report from my machine, if it's of any 
help.

Thanks.
