| I'm pretty sure it's connected with a surge in ad pop-up frequency. I have 'noads' installed, but for some reason this uninvited parasite makes blocking those ads slow and burdensome. When I deleted the software, my whole internet connection speeded up. Peter | |

| installed XP, Norton AV, Spybot, and Ad-aware-- in that order. MSBB.exe showed up during the ad-aware installation process. With such a clean system, I can only suspect that spybot or ad-aware put it there. John | |

| its no problem for you (spyware, not a virus) but its very annoying but you can deinstall it easily with the control panel Thomas | |

| Spyware! But we could name this also a worm! It eats lot of the RAM and it's impossible to load security updates nor new virus definitions (because it produces high traffic on your bandwith). Napsty | |
| kills IE and reinstals itself. Prosecute the company for cost of repairing computer damaged by this spyware parasite ken | |
| It wastes about 41MB of memory and won't go away even after deleting it repeatedly. Whoever designed program should be given the Roman scourge. E | |
| It opens secretly every time at startup of my Windows ME. When I turn it off through Control-ALT-DEL, I can open AOL 9.0. When I try to ignore msbb.exe, I cannot open AOL 9.0. Frank | |

| I was unaware that I had msbb.exe on my system until Zone Alarm alerted me that it was trying to access the internet. I ran an anti spyware app and found 24 rogue applications that seemed to be associated with it; the spybot erradicated 22 of them and 2 were removed using "add or remove programs". Some of the other processes that appeared at the same time as msbb are: "web buddy", "bullseye" and "websync". Joćo Cabrita Bailote | |
| I know of this file and system process from downloading a program called dvd xcopy from a direct dl site. And that's how i received it. So i suggest everyone should be careful what you download. What you think is free, is not free Kareem | |
| Eats Ram, Nearly impossible to remove, installed without notice of the user somethimes. Under the new act passed by congress this company should be shut down and sued for damages :) Empathy | |
| It makes a keylog file, and it has a file with the weirdest and most illegal used internet words (18+)... With all adds. Dangerous. Tim | |
| couldn't run internet explorer when it ran, when I deleted it, it crashed the computer--should be classified as a virus!! sccrmom | |

| Delete! I have msbb.exe to! | |
| steals bandwidth and crashes "add or Remove Programs" everytime I tried to unistall and the msbb.exe file cannot be deleted from the folder it is in. info from another site about this: "Msbb.exe, delmsbb.exe, and dnxf.exe were created by "180Solutions" as a 'comparison shopping' program called nCase (also known as Web3000). This is advertising spyware that creates popup ads. It ma also overwrite your wsock32.dll system file, and may transmit lists of URLs you visit. In some cases, you'll see delmsbb.exe listed as an nCase uninstaller. In reality, it doesn't remove nCase files at all." See also: Link Mad Computer Owner | |
| After boot up XP is much slower. The hard disk goes berserk and starts swapping. Very slow system. I have 256 MB of RAM. Roland | |
| If somehow you cannot delete "msbb.exe" what I did was I removed it from my processes and then ran Norton SystemWorkd on it, chose the Wipe Info option and done so. Thats a very good program. I hope I helped! -+aNUbiS+- | |

| Strange, this 180solutions was installed automatically in my computer. Then my computer had problem. I finally found out the problem and uninstalled the sofeware. But when I logged into Internet again, I found this f***ing msbb file was in my computer again so that it didn't function proper. Spyware! Le | |
| It consumes a lot of RAM - Among the higest in memory usage | |
| just locate the file and delete it, before doing that disable it from your startup using "msconfig" then uninstall all the extra tool bars on ur browser luckyranger | |
| This is distributed with the installer of NiceMC input plugin for WinAmp! There is no chance I might have any interest to use WinAmp on my system! Joy | |
| Adware & Spyware (may be a worm). Pretty easy to get rid of if you can discover it at the very early stage. Joy | |
| was told if you remove it you really will have problems Stevareeno | |
| This is part of the adware bound to DivX, Strangles bandwidth Jimmy | |
| It used up almost half of the memory in my computer, leaving it running so slowly as to be almost unuseable. Start in safe mode and delete all msbb files. Rhyssa | |
| Antivir(c) found it on my c:\windows\system32 but, there was nothing on registry nor running processes... I just deleted it, after reading your opinions jKosh | |
| It's spyware, eats up a ton of memory and should be removed ASAP. TF | |
| Run MSCONFIG, go to startup and turn it off this seems to do the trick DigitalZone | |
| affects explorer in a really annoying way...... never seen my pc working so slow | |
| I was lucky to discover it very early, my AV couldnt even quarantine it immediately. It replicates into svcnet.exe also, that file is usually located in C:\windows\system32\...if you see it get RID OF IT! concerned | |
| It arrived on my computer a couple of days ago and I finally found it, I started in safe mode and was able to delete it that way. Very annoying and hope it stays away. SQ | |

| This annoying file has been giving me a headache for quite a long time and I've given it too much time and many tries.Everytime I delete it, it comes back, though I have a firewall!How? SPYBOT search & destroy, ADware SE, and SPYWARE doctor were all useless, it comes back again. Use "highjack this" to kill the proccess, it works, but comes back on restart.The freak who made this program knew exactly what he was doing.Check the link for useful downloads See also: Link Ivan | |
| ***** EASY FIX: Look, if you guys really don't like it that much, go to www.google.com.au and search for spybot. Download version 1.4. Once you've done this, go to www.download.com or www.freedownloads.be and download HijackThis. HijackThis kills startup entries that other programs can't even see (be careful though). Don't bother with Adwaware or any other program, these two will fix pretty much everything. Pirate | |
| I dont know anything about this o_0 Other than it may be really annoying. My fully updated Norton Antivirus cant delete or quarantine this file, and i think it may be using my Bit Tornado to let others connect to me. My CPU goes to 100% whenever i use BT for like 10 minutes or something o_0 And wont go down unless i close the program. James | |
| Horrible--does not allow me to start ANY programs--gives error message: __________.exe generated errors and must be closed by Windows. ---Because of this, nothing works! Trying to find a way to remove it, Norton Anti-virus DOES NOT do it! Brant | |
| It has locked my computer to where I cant get my web browser to come up anymore at first it locked it up everytime then I woud have to completely shut down my system | |
| errrrr.....i deleted 180 and now i cant open IE (im using mozilla) and i cant open my documents or my computer... | |
| ppl, stop talking about regcleaner, since that Software is using Spyware itself! Kris | |
| under programs listed as 180 search assistant delete by all means necessary pastorprakash | |
| Use Housecall on line to remove, or spybot and adaware mark osude | |
| It uses ca.11MB of RAM. Very complicated uninstall process (uninstall in two steps, the program installs itself as two different programs), to uninstall required connection to Internet and downloading two times additional uninstall programs! It is possible two uninstall it from the control panel, add/remove programs: you have to uninstall two separate programs: 1."Interstitial Ad Delivery by n-Case" and 2."... PAD ... by n-Case".
