The following instructions have been created to help you to get rid of "MySideSearch" manually.
Use this guide at your own risk; software should usually be better suited to remove malware, since it is able to look deeper.

Threat Details:
Categories:

Description:
This malware adds itself as an Internet Explorer enhancer, as it is supposed to be. Additionally it hides itself with variable filenames and causes advertising to be displayed.
Removal Instructions:
Files:
Please use Windows Explorer or another file manager of your choice to locate and delete these files.
The file at "<$SYSDIR>\<$REGMATCH1>.dll".
The file at "<$SYSDIR>\ngaheegcshokt.dll".
The file at "<$LOCALAPPDATA>\Temp\ngaheegcshokt.dll".
A file with an unknown location named "ngaheegcshokt.dll".
The file at "<$SYSDIR>\ngaheegcshokt.dll".
The file at "<$SYSDIR>\<$REGMATCH1>.dll".
The file at "<$SYSDIR>\ojetfgqayvwo.dll".
The file at "<$LOCALAPPDATA>\Temp\ojetfgqayvwo.dll".
A file with an unknown location named "ojetfgqayvwo.dll".
The file at "<$SYSDIR>\ojetfgqayvwo.dll".
Make sure you set your file manager to display hidden and system files. If MySideSearch uses rootkit technologies, use our RootAlyzer (http://forums.spybot.info/downloads.php?id=8) or our Total Commander anti-rootkit plugins (http://forums.spybot.info/downloads.php?id=3).
You will have to use a global search for files without a name specified. Be extra careful, because just the name might not be enough to identify files!
Important: There are more files that cannot be safely described in simple words. Please use Spybot-S&D (http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=spybotsd) to remove them.
