The Best Offers program removal - How?

[Joe727]

Hi - I am cleaning up a friend's computer and can't get rid of this program, even after visiting the website and running the on-line Uninstall Utility.

Here's some info about The Best Offers Network which is part of a company called Direct Revenue:

Additional info:
STATE SUES MAJOR "SPYWARE" DISTRIBUTOR

Direct Revenue Accused of Vast, Elusive Pattern of Spyware Installations

Attorney General Eliot Spitzer today sued one of the most elusive internet spyware companies, alleging that the firm surreptitiously installed millions of pop-up ad programs on consumers' computers.

I sure hope you can find all the entries in the registry for this program. I found several called TBONAS, but there obviously are more.

Thanks

P.S. I also posted this on the 'request to be added' Spybot forum, but was advised to also post here
