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?

    After I uninstalled Sendori then rebooted I ran a search on my computer to make sure that all traces were gone. I did find the Sendori app installer still on my C: drive and a few references in the temp folder but they were easy to remove.

     I was able to remove it simply by uninstalling through control panel then rebooting my computer. My DNS settings were reset to the default after removal but that was easy to correct, I then blocked the sendori.com site with the openDNS.com service that I use so this site will NEVER cause me another problem. I discovered this malicious site's takeover of my computer almost immediately since the first thing it did was change my DNS settings which caused my openDNS updater to inform me that the service was no longer active.

    Try Revo Uninstaller Pro:  http://www.revouninstaller.com/

    If the Sendori app doesn't show up or you can't uninstall it, try doing a Forced Uninstall.  Select all executables, .dlls are any other files you feel are malicious.
