AdultLinks Description:
An program that adds links to porn and other
sites to the Internet Explorer Favorites menu.
Whilst it is installed, it can add more links
when directed to do so by a web page. Installed
by ActiveX drive-by-download from its controlling
servers, mainentrypoint.com. This may be
triggered by some pop-up ads.
AdultLinks/LinkZZ also adds links in the
'Links' folder/toolbar. AdultLinks/QcBar provides
a separate AdultLinks toolbar instead. AdultLinks/QaBar
is a development of QcBarS with small porny icons
for the links, and a home page link that is added
to the Desktop and Start Menu.

LinkZZ variant
Open the 'Downloaded Program Files' folder in

the key 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\LinkZZ' from
the registry to clean up if you like.
QcBar variant
Open the registry (click 'Start', choose 'Run'
and enter 'regedit') and delete the following
keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Toolbar\{765E6B09-6832-4738-BDBE-25F226BA2AB0}
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Code Store

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{60381D4B-8129-449A-A5F2-5417AD0571CC}
Restart Windows. You can now delete the
program files to clean up: open a DOS command
prompt window (from
Start->Programs->Accessories) and enter the
following commands:
del "%WinDir%\Downloaded Program Files\allch.dll"
del "%WinDir%\Downloaded Program Files\QcBar.dll"
QaBar variant
Open a DOS command prompt window (from
Start->Programs->Accessories) and enter the
following commands:
cd "%WinDir%\System"
regsvr32 /u "..\Downloaded Program Files\QaBar.dll"
del "..\Downloaded Program Files\QaBar.inf"
You can then delete the file 'insqcb.ins' in
the System folder (inside the Windows folder,
called 'System32' on Windows NT, 2000 and XP or
just 'System' under Windows 95, 98 and Me), and
the 'Adult Links Daily' icons on the Start Menu
and Desktop, plus the 'QcBar' folder inside the
Application Data folder. (Application Data can be
found in the Windows folder under Windows 95, 98
and Me, or in your user 'Profiles' folder in the
Windows folder under Windows NT, or in your user
'Documents and Settings' folder in 2000 and XP.)
You can also delete the registry key 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\QcBar'
to clean up if you like.
All variants
The 'Adult Links', 'Adult Search',
'Sports'
and 'Instant Viagra' folders can be deleted from
the Favorites folder. Then, if your search
settings have been hijacked
QaBar and some releases of QcBar also hijack
address bar searches to point to search-itnow.com.
To stop this happening, go to the Programs tab in
Internet Options and click 'Reset web settings'.
