Overview:
180 Search Assistant is generally installed by some other piece of spyware. This
not only displays ads but logs your browsing habits to send back to 180! If you
have this you most likely have several other programs that you need to
uninstall.

Unregister DLLs:
Tip: this is only a list of known files/locations. You will want to do a
search by the name of the file to see if they're on your system.
A while back I wrote a guide to
Register/remove DLL or AX
files which you will need if you don't know how to unregister these files.
Each file
is in several locations so you'll need to search for them and unregister +
delete them in every location you find.
180.dll
witircl.dll
Remove Directories:
%program files%\180search assistant
%program files%\180solutions
Clean your Registry:
You should
be back to normal IF this was your only problem. I suggest you post in our HJT
forum since its not likely that this is your only bug.
