Wes,
Sorry but all attempts have failed! I tried everything to
remove that DSRN Search Engine ( BY SHOPNAV ). Installed
SPYHUNTER & AD-AWARE 6.0 to remove everything, but that
SEARCH ENGINE still keeps coming up. Tried to search
GOOGLE for more info and found how to remove from
REGISTRY but there is nothing in the registry to remove.
AT A LOSS..............
