Hi Laurie,

Microsoft didn't add those buggers to your tool bar.

Now lets kick them to the curb eh?

Open MWAS, go to Tools--->Advanced Tools--->Internet Explorer--->IE BHO's,
and see what's listed. If you don't recognize one or more, or if they don't
have a star associated with them, you can check them off to be disabled.
Let's do that before rebooting.

Then: Boot into Safe Mode (F8) at startup;
Empty your temporary files AND your Temporary Internet Files C:\Documents
and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files folder ;
Run the scan while in safe mode.

Please let us know if that helps.
