How to Remove Sendori Malware?

Hello,

Does anyone here know anything about Sendori?  According to some it is a tool used to correct spelling errors, according to others it is a form of anti-spyware, and according to others it is a homepage hijacker.  I believe what I have is the latter as it has changed my homepage and degraded my browser performance.  I have heard that it is undetectable by AVG and I just did a full scan using Windows Security essentials and didn't pick it up.  I tried uninstalling through Control Panels - -> Programs and Features but could not remove it.  I am hesitant to use more radical methods to remove it such as deleting executables and .dlls or doing a forced uninstall using Revo Uninstaller as I have heard sometimes if you ARE able to remove it it will change your DNS settings upon removal.  Does anyone have any ideas?

    The advert underlines on my custom homepage was the give away and the cause for my immediate displeasure. That little ordeal took 2 days of part time research and registry removals (after doing the questionable "uninstall".  It's been quite a while buy there were only a very few Sebdori hits in the registry but hundreds(it seemed) hits on "programsendori" or maybe it was sendoriprogram I can't remember but I know the alias is mentioned in a previous post. You won't be out of the woods until you delete all of those too. Don't forget to check in appdata  in your profile also Good luck and have a great day.

    Sendori seems to comes in bundled with toolbars. I haven't been able to prove it for sure. I was able to find it in my program files but I had to search all files on my computer to find it. The uninstall worked for me. If you can find it in your Program File, look at the date modified and then check any other programs with that date and you might find out what it came in with. I am a certified computer Whacker (usually with my fist), so it takes me awhile to hunt these things down. Based on comments from Sendori Reps to other comments here maybe Sendori is not directly responsible for attaching the program into other bundles of programs but their name stands out when the ads and surveys popup on every website I go to. "Powered by Sendori". Sendori has become a four letter word for me! Good luck! I'm getting the Sendori out of here!

    I was sick of all the pop-ups, underlined random words and links, videos that would pop up in the lower right hand corner and slow my computer down. Did a search like everyone else and had all these "great ideas", 1. Unistalled it from the control panel remove programs; No luck, still had the same issue. 2. Reset all my browsers and removed weird add-ons; no luck. 3. Searched for any files on my computer having to do with Sendori and delete them; No luck, would not delete they were in use. 4. Tried several different ad/malware programs; no luck, just garbage. 5. Tried combination of all; no luck. What did work was all the above and when one of the videos popped up I clicked on the ? next to the close (x). It gave me an option to Opt out of the service. Wallah! No more stupid **** popping up all over the place. I hope this helps someone that was as frustrated as I was.
