Beware this malware. If you attempt to delete it, it blocks all traffic to and from your computer. Don't believe me?
Just install it and see! I did not install it... it came from a legitimate site and downloaded itself. I would love to get my hands on the company that released this noxious pest. John Bolton

I went onto limewire and searched under a song called 'I'm going home' by arlo guthrie. This was one of the first but was unusual in that it brought up windows media player and requested permission to download file. I permitted and ended up with dealassistsat and two others. I deleted what I could but deal assistant would not delete. I then used system restore and so far it seems to be goine with no bat effects - did scan for malware etc and nothing showing. John

I found that it is not just c:\documents and settings\myname\applicationdata\dealassistant.exe
it is also application data\microsoftwindows\oulwsv.exe
and applicationdata\dealassistant

Cannot uninstall, and have tryed spy bot search and destroy, and also malwarebytes anti malware. This anti virus will be the third i have tryed and if it doesn't work i will try system restore followed by repair with cd, and then deleting and re-installing windows xp.

Thing is all the programs i have tried detected program, attempted to remove and told me i couldn't remove it.
