Adult Links

[JohnS]

My sons computer was infected with spy ware and virus.

I have successfully cleaned both up.

How ever I can not figure out how to remove the adult
links tool bar and links button that have been inserted
in his browser.

Any help would be appreciated.

John,
ToolbarCop from http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/ should be able to remove the
toolbar. Try it first.

You probably still have other adware, spyware, parasites on your computer.

Download, install, *update* and run these two programs:
Ad-aware from http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/
Spybot from http://security.kolla.de/

(See: Recommended security settings.)
