Hi Charles,

a new toolbar has mysteriously appeared in my internet
explorer window from a website i have not visited
(isearch) How do I get rid of it? Right clicking on it
just gets me grayed out options I can't access. Please
help.

Use toolbar Cop:

More info about parasites:

Download the utility CWshredder:
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip

Unzip - close *all* instances of IE & OE, hit the executable and
follow
the prompts.

You can also download Hijack This from here:

http://www.mjc1.com/files/merijn/hijackthis.exe

Go here:
http://mjc1.com/mirror/hjt/

For instructions on how to use it; you have to post the log it
produces here:

HiJack This is a program that simply searches for programs that run at
boot time, and checks for browser plug-ins. The results this program
gives you are generally just informative. Most of the programs it will
come up with are valid programs that you actually want running. You'll
have to go through the results and tell the program to delete unwanted
programs. If you can't figure out what some of the programs are, don't
just delete them, research them and/or post them so experts can let
you know what the program does. Just type the program name into google
which gets a decent answer pretty quickly.


Try downloading, installing and updating the
spyware removers from the links below. Run both of them.

Spybot S&D

If these don't correct the problem, then get yourself a copy of
BHODemon, available at
http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm .

It does not need installing - simply unzip and run the EXE program. It
is easy to use. It will find the hijackware DLL files, and give you
the ability to disable them.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

You will need to close all open windows and all open applications prior to
following the next steps. Please copy and paste these steps, or print them
out before proceeding.

1. Click "Start" in the bottom left corner of your screen.

2. Select "Run" from the menu that appears.

3. Type "Command" (without the quotes) in the "Run" dialog.

4. In the new window that has appeared:
a. If you are using Windows XP, type "cd c:\windows\system32" (without the
quotes) and press the "Enter" key.
b. If you are using Windows 95/98/ME, type "cd c:\windows\system" (without
the quotes) and press the "Enter" key.
c. If you are using Windows 2000 or Windows NT, type "cd c:\winnt\system32"
(without the quotes) and press the "Enter" key.

Note: If you have installed Windows on a different drive (e.g. d or
directory (e.g. c:\windows2) then you will need to type the appropriate
drive letter and/or directory above.

5. In the same window
a. If you are using Windows 95/98/ME , type "regsvr /u /s toolbar.dll"
(without the quotes) and press the "Enter" key.
b. If you are using Windows NT/2000/XP , type "regsvr32 /u /s toolbar.dll"
(without the quotes) and press the "Enter" key.

6. In the same window type "del toolbar.dll" (without the quotes) and press
the "Enter" key.

7. In the same window type "exit" (without the quotes) and press the
"Enter" key.

The command window should now be closed and the iSearch toolbar has been
permanently removed from your system. You can open a new Internet Explorer
browser to test the successful removal.

Hope this helps ......
