Hello everyone,

I got rid of the dreaded "iSearch" toolbar on my IE browser. Now a new
toolbar by the name of "Search" recently appeared. I eliminate it through the
right button but as soon as I change to another site...it's there again.

Could someone please help me? I need the extra space that bar is taking and
wish to get rid of it ASAP

Thanks

Download & run AdAware

AdAware didn't do it!

This is what I did to remove iSearch. I wonder if SOMEONE WHO KNOWS may be
able to help me. Thanks in advance

When spyware killers fail...

I manually look at:

msconfig - see if anything new is loading...make note of what it is... & disable it.

do the same for task manager...anything weird running?...close it down.

look at Programs for the above...make note of names

use google to ascertain what program or dlls might be - spyware or something normal ?

use uninstaller program to uninstall anything I find

user regedit to get rid of remaining traces

I don't think he meant to say that AdAware installed the
Search thingy. AdAware may be able to detect the program
that is causing your search thingy to appear, and may
disable it.
