ActiveSearch is a browser helper object (BHO) is a toolbar that attaches itself to Internet Explorer and proceeds to hijack your browser. Also know by the name 411 Ferret, ActiveSearch will allow your computer to conduct searches but routes them through ActiveSearch's search engine which will only deliver targeted popup advertisements that are not only unwanted but can be offensive.

ActiveSearch may also monitor your web surfing and record your activity, not only what your search for, but also personal information that you have no intention with sharing with just anyone on the Web. ActiveSearch installs without your permission, and will gladly usher in all sorts of other types of spyware, adware and fraudware. It will hit you in the face with an endless stream of annoying popups that severely affect your enjoyment and productivity while surfing the Web. Not to mention that it is a huge security and privacy issue. You don't want this pest on your PC!

ActiveSearch can be very difficult to get rid of by yourself. It can hide itself very effectively and resists deletion by leaving almost no footprints. If you really know what you're doing, then perhaps you have a slim shot at getting most of it by following manual removal instructions that can be found on the Web. But the problem is most of us aren't anywhere near competent enough to do this, and you can easily delete a file you really need thinking you're getting rid of ActiveSearch.

My favorite is Spyzooka, which comes with a 100% money back guarantee to rid your computer of all the spyware ills that beset it. It works fast, and offers a free scan to get you going.
