Xupiter Description:
Xupiter Toolbar hijacks your home page, adds links to your favorites, displays popup ads, tracks your browsing
habits and reports back to a serverbrowser. It is installed as a
plug-in tools or loaded as an
Active X control in Internet Explorer.
Also known as: Dialer-RAS.aj,
XupiterToolbar
Xupiter/Xupiter uses the site xupiter.com for all functions; Xupiter/Xjupiter is the same but uses xjupiter.com instead. Xupiter/2003 is the same as the Xupiter variant, but puts its DLL directly in its Program Files folder instead of in an 'Updates' folder.
Xupiter/BrowserWise points to browserwise.com but is still otherwise identical to Xupiter. Xupiter/Browser is a newer variant which still points to browserwise.com, but stores its program files in a folder called 'Browser' instead of 'Xupiter'.
Xupiter/Sqwire is a newer variant pointing at sqwire.com. Its program files are stored in a 'Sqwire' folder, in a different layout to previous versions, and an installer DLL is left in Downloaded Program Files.
Xupiter/OrbitExplorer is the latest variant, pointing at orbitexplorer.com. Some of its program files are stored in an 'Orbit' folder in Program Files, the rest in an 'OE' folder in Common Files. It also has the installer DLL.

Xupiter Manual Removal:
Because there are multiple
variants of the Xupiter toolbar, it makes it
difficult to remove manually.
Open the registry (from the Start menu, click
Run and enter regedit)
and find the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run.
Delete the entries 'XupiterStartup' and 'XupiterCfgLoader'
(earlier variants), 'SQUpdatesChecker' and 'SQConfigChecker'
(Sqwire variant) or 'OrbitUpdate' and 'OrbitView'
(OrbitExplorer variant).
Open a DOS command prompt window
(Start->Programs->Accessories) and enter the
following commands to deregister the toolbar (Xupiter
and BrowserWise variants):
cd "%WinDir%\System"
regsvr32 /u "\Program Files\Xupiter\Updates\XupiterToolbar.dll"
regsvr32 /u "\Program Files\Xupiter\Updates\XTUpdate.dll"
regsvr32 /u "\Program Files\Xupiter\Updates\XTSearch.dll"
(The earliest variants of Xupiter didn't have
the XTSearch.dll file, so don't worry if this
last command gives an error.)
For the 2003 variant, use:
cd "%WinDir%\System"
regsvr32 /u "\Program Files\Xupiter\XupiterToolbar.dll"
regsvr32 /u "\Program Files\Xupiter\XTUpdate.dll"
regsvr32 /u "\Program Files\Xupiter\XTSearch.dll"
For the Browser variant, use:
cd "%WinDir%\System"
regsvr32 /u "\Program Files\Browser\Updates\BrowserToolbar.dll"
regsvr32 /u "\Program Files\Browser\Updates\BWUpdate.dll"
regsvr32 /u "\Program Files\Browser\Updates\BWSearch.dll"
For the Sqwire variant, use:
cd "%WinDir%\System"
regsvr32 /u "\Program Files\Sqwire\t.dll"
regsvr32 /u "\Program Files\Sqwire\u.dll"
regsvr32 /u "\Program Files\Sqwire\s.dll"
For the OrbitExplorer variant, use:
cd "%WinDir%\System"
regsvr32 /u "\Program Files\Common Files\OE\toolbar.dll"
regsvr32 /u "\Program Files\Common Files\OE\redirector.dll"
regsvr32 /u "\Program Files\Common Files\OE\search.dll"
Restart the computer and open the Program
Files folder. Delete the 'Xupiter', 'Browser', 'Sqwire'
or 'Orbit' folders, and in the OrbitExplorer
variant also the 'OE' folder inside Common Files.
For the Sqwire and OrbitExplorer variants, you
should also open 'Downloaded Program Files' in
the Windows folder and remove the 'Loader class'
entry if it is there.
You can now restore your home page (Internet
Options->General->Home page) and your search
settings (Internet Options->Programs->Reset web
settings). You can also delete the settings to
clean up if you like: open the registry and
delete the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Xupiter,
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SQ (Sqwire variant) or
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\CLSID\{0FDA4D2B-7975-405d-8D7C-F5E2247EAE80}
(OrbitExplorer variant).
Because there are multiple variants of the
Xupiter toolbar, it makes it difficult to remove
manually.
