iSearch toolbar removal

[Rick D]

The 'iSearch toolbar' has installed itself on my I.E. 6
brower and has grayed out all of my toolbar options. I
am running XP Pro and I wish to remove the iSearch
toolbar in its entirety if possible. At the very least I
would like to de-select it in the toolbar options
selection drop-down (currently grayed out).

Can anyone help me with deleting this intrusive
software? I think it is very offensive (if not totally
unethical) that any software would install itself without
the express permission of the owner/user of the computer
as this software has.

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide...

Check out the reply to my message "Unlocking Toolbar -
Button Disappeared" from Ramesh. It worked via Ad-aware
to remove the Isearch block. Follow his link to
http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/IEFAQ.htm and then click on
the item: "Unable to customize toolbar and tool band"

I have tried Toolbar Cop and Spybot Search & Destroy, but to no avail. Then
someone suggested the program 'Hijackthis', it has worked a treat. Not only
has it found and removed the 'Isearch' toolbar, but some
other rubbish which had attached itself to my browser. All seems to run a
lot quicker now.
