ShopAtHomeSelect Manual Removal:
There should be an entry in the Control
Panel's Add/Remove Programs entry for 'ShopAtHomeSelect
Agent'. Use it to remove the software then
restart the computer.
You can delete the damaged
'{30402FF4-3E71-4A1C-9B4B-1CD3486A9FB2}' entry
inside the 'Downloaded Program Files' folder, the
'SAHUninstall.exe' file in the 'Windows' folder
and 'SahAgent.log' in the root of the C: drive to
clean up if you like.
If the entry for ShopAtHomeSelect remains in
your Add/Remove Programs even though the software
is uninstalled, you can get rid of it by opening
the registry (Start->Run->regedit) and deleting
the key 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ShopAtHomeSelect
Agent'.
Manual removal
As with all software that uses Winsock2 LSPs,
you should be very careful removing
ShopAtHomeSelect by hand: if you slip up you may
lose all networking ability.
First, open the registry (Start->Open->regedit)
and find the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
. Delete the 'SAHAgent' entry.
Next, run 'regedit' and find the
key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WinSock2\Parameters
\Protocol_Catalog9
. For each key in Catalog_Entries, open the 'PackedCatalogItem' value and check if it starts
with 'lsp.dll'. If it does delete that entry.
Renumber the remaining keys so that they count up
from 000000000001 one at a time, and set the 'Num_Catalog_Entries' value in Protocol_Catalog9
to the highest key number you have. See, I told
you it was a lot of effort.
Next, open a DOS command prompt window (from
Start->Programs->Accessories) and enter the
commands:
cd "%WinDir%\System"
regsvr32 /u "..\Downloaded Program Files\WEBinstaller.dll"
cd "..\Downloaded Program Files"
del WEBinstaller.dll
del SAH*.exe
Restart the computer and you should be able to
delete the files 'tracking.tmp', 'vg.dat',
'v.dat', 'lsp.dll', 'SahDownloader.exe' and
'SahAgent.exe' from the System folder (inside the
Windows folder; called 'System' on Windows
95/98/Me or 'System32' under Windows NT/2000/XP).
You can also delete the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VGroup to clean up if
you like.
