How to delete "Internet Assistant" in Win 7

This article has nothing to do with personal technical interests, but if you happen to have the same troubles as me, take two minutes to read this article.

Background introduction

My own home computer (operating system: Win 7), because i***** company's things were forced to put on the "Internet small assistant." When the company put the computer in place, I started using the company's computer to work. So, my own home computer, obviously no longer need "Internet Assistant". However, the "Internet Assistant" can not be downloaded. As a result, uncontrollable rage to the top, as described below.

I tried to delete it using the captcha, but I tried it 5 times and failed every time. As a unix/linux programmer who has been debugging, locating and solving bugs for many years, the morale of the program has been aroused, I must kill this "come to do not want to go" The Hateful "Internet Assistant".

Resolution process

I have no knowledge of Windows programming, but the common sense of "safe mode" is. So:

1th Step: Restart the laptop, press F8, go to the "Advanced Boot Options" menu, select "Safe Mode" to enter

2nd step: Open the Control Panel, click "Program/Uninstall program", find "Internet Assistant", did not find (not discouraged)

3rd step: Turn on the computer butler, click "Software Management/Uninstall", find "Internet Assistant", did not find (also not discouraged)

4th step: Press the Windows key +f, search "Asm", did not find; Search "Agent", also did not find; after trying N (>5) times, search "isagent", found the familiar icon:

Explanation: The reason why search "isagent", is because reference the following link: (Again prove: Hate "Internet little assistant" not only I one!) ）

The 5th step: For the sake of security (own home computer, because the system corruption data is lost), do not directly delete the "Asmassistant" in the directory, but the way of renaming. That is, change the directory C:\Windows\SysWOW64\IsAgent to C:\Windows\SysWOW64\XXXIsAgent

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\IsAgent <---"Little assistant on the Internet" is installed here, and no anti-installation program, abominable!

6th step: Restart Windows 7, OK, "Internet Assistant" has not been launched, because it is located in the directory has been changed to my xxxisagent. Thank goodness, it's finally over!

Concluding remarks

As a normal software, it is necessary to provide the functionality of the anti-installation. But as a rogue software, it is no surprise that it does not provide anti-installation features. "Internet Assistant" is obviously a rogue software, and there is no bottom line of the kind , seemingly provide uninstall function, but the user input verification code is not in accordance with the user's expectations of normal work. The entire ban on "internet helpers", described above, is a process that embodies the basic approach of software debugging and the positioning and resolution of problems, that is, "constantly guessing and trying, not discouraged or give up."
