ClickTheButton Description:
ClickTheButton is described as a price
comparison service. It detects when you are
visitng a known shopping site and provides
sponsored links to competitor sites. It runs as a
process on startup (ctbclick.exe) and installs a
number of extra DLLs. ClickTheButton has in the
past had reasonably legitimate distribution
channels. However it has recently started being
silently installed with other applications (eg.
some releases of KaZaA). The FavoriteMan
parasite has also installed it.

ClickTheButton Manual Removal:
Versions tested have been removable from the
Control Panel's 'Add/Remove Programs' feature.
However the registry is left in a bit of a mess.
Open the registry (click 'Start', choose 'Run'
and enter 'regedit') and find the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run.
Delete the 'ClickTheButton' entry on the right.
You can also delete the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CTB_BrandedClient,
and all keys in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT that begin 'CtbClient',
'CtbSession', 'CtbShopper' or 'CtbXML'.
Restart the computer and you should be able to
delete the 'CTB3_Shared' folder from the Windows
folder, and the 'CTBHooks.dll' file from the
System folder (which is inside the Windows
folder, called 'System32' on Windows NT/2000/XP,
or 'System' on Windows 95/98/Me).
