a-d-w-a-r-e hijacks are sure sign of Look2Me infection. Its not cureable by any other Antivirus or Antispyware. But, newer version of Webroot SpySweeper can remove it. You can try it. If SpySweeper solves your problem, its well and good. If not, post back here, we have to remvoe it manually.

Get SpySweeper here:

Nope.....Look2Me is one of the toughest "baddie" to remove. It creates a lot of DLL files and one TMP file in System32 folder and it also it registers one DLL under "Winlogon Notify" key. By this, it loads whenever an user logs on to system.

Previously NONE of the Anti-spyware and/or AntiVirus were able to remvoe it. A removal tool called L2MFix was developed by shaddowar and this was the only tool to remove Look2Me.

Now, there's a new version of Look2Me, which even L2MFix can not remvoe. But as Security Experts at various sites found out, , the latest version (v4.5) of WebRoot SpySweeper is capable of removing it. (L2MFix is being updated currently to make it to remove the new version)
