HOW TO UNDO BROWSER ??"UPDATE"??

PLEASE NOTE: We (Internet Eraser) have never and will never do this to you.
Furthermore, we do NOT condone such behavior.

STEP BY STEP DIRECTIONS

1) a)Click on the Windows button of your keyboard
or click on your "Start" button with your mouse

b) Click on "Search" or "Find" and then Click on "Files and Folders"

c) Where it says "named" or "Search for files or folders named", type in "hosts" (without the quotes)

d) Where it says "Find In:", Type "C:" (without the quotes)

e) Then click the button to start the search.

f) Once you have noted the location of the file called "hosts", open it with a text editor (such as Notepad, Microsoft Word, etc.) and delete the line that looks something like this: 

"66.40.16.215   autosearch.msn.com"

(Keep in mind the the numbers may not be exactly the same as those above)

g) Save the file. You may need to re-boot your browser and/or computer before the changes take effect.

2) An affiliate has a viral ad campaign that is extra viral! It appears to be timer based.
 He refuses to submit remove instructions and has since made our ad on your PC go to a Casino.
 If you have our ad popping up constantly (not a normal website popup) with the url ending
 1070181 or linked to a Casino.
 If yours is not this but similar click here.

UPDATE! Even though I got no response, one of you who had this problem contacted the creator of the problem and got this reply:

The adware should update every week or so and the next update should stop them, otherwise you can use a adware removal program to take them off your computer faster if you wish. Try www.ad-aware.com
