This is the most persistent search engine, take over my computer crap I've seen yet. Anyone have any experience with it? I downloaded spybot and it still is here.

Any suggestions?

 

Ooops, sorry.

FlashlightSEARCH.com

I think it's in a folder called c:\program files\tv media.

I'll see how it goes.

 

Sorry Pat, never heard of it. I'll keep my eyes peeled though.

find and delete/rename the file MSMGT.EXE in the windows folder. Some people have reported however, that it isn't there but flashlightsearch still is.

Second fix, mentioned by a few people to work:

if you have spybot search and destroy it doesn't automatically get rid of fl. but if you click on the Tools section ater the search is complete it does find a BHO, called TVMBHO.DLL. Upon futher investigation it was found that it wase in a folder C: program files TV MEDIA. When this file was deleted flashlight was gone, when it was picked up again by going to the flashlight site, the files re-appeared.
Solution is to find the TV MEDIA folder and delete it.
This also deletes other filres:
tvuknwrd.dll, tvmlg.dll, tvcwtd.dll anf TVM.exe.

Other fix: (best if you do this anyway, whatever above method might work) go to run and type regedit and search for the line TVMEDIA.EXE delete it, to stop flashlight starting as windows starts up.
I haven't tried this yet, but I will: and I'm assured that the last method has helped quite a few people defeat flashlight.

found on web good luck.

 

Thanks a bunch
