V2 wiz.dll Removal

Hi, I created this page to detail the process I used to get rid of V2 popup adware. Adaware found it but could never remove it because the .dll, in my case cggwiz.dll, bound itself to explorer on startup.

1. Run adaware, spybot s+d, and CWShredder from merijn.

2. Do a search for any files that match the filter "*wiz.dll". Delete any of these files that you can. There will be some you cannot delete. Remember the location of these files, usually C:\windows\system.

3. Restart in MS-DOs mode and navigate to the folder with the adware dll(s). Use the attrib command to make the file editable.. if the file is marked as a hidden read-only system file use attrib XXXXXX.dll -r -s -h to remove those attributes. Replace XXXXXX with the file name(s) found during step 2.

4. Use the del command to delete the file.
