How to remove folder iLookup\TTIL.exe planted by EZula an Adware. I tried many tools but it is still here HELP
Q. There is no database is available in the most of Anti Virus sites about this WORM/Trojen whatever it is

A. I hope that you have detected the folder containing the file and failed to delete it. This kind of stuffs are very stubborn. Best thing to do is to search the registry for an entry and delete the same. Use spyware doctor to find the registry entry and if you have a registered version then it will delete it itself. Otherwise use REGEDIT and manually delete the entry shown by it. Need more details buddy. Always try to post a descriptive question next time.
