Removal Instructions
Automatic Removal:
This adware BHO can be detected and removed Automatically
by Spyware Doctor, also SpyEraser.
Manual Removal:
Before you can delete the program DLL, you must deregister
it. With some versions of the software this can be done with
regsvr32; open a DOS command prompt window
(Start->Programs->Accessories) and enter the command:
cd "%WinDir%\System"
regsvr32 /u "%WinDir%\kvnab.dll
(Change the name of the DLL in this line for the different
variants.)
For some of the earlier variants, if this fails with an
error about there being no DllUnregisterServer entry point,
try the command:
rundll32 %WinDir%\kvnab.dll,PBUninstall
(Again, change the DLL name if necessary.)
Next, run 'regedit' and open the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
key. Remove the 'CCB Enhancement' value. Open 'RunOnce' and
remove the 'AdBreak' value if you have it. You can also delete
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\AdBreak and 'OpenData' to clean up
if you like.
Restart the computer and you should be able to delete all
the files listed in the table above.
