I have a program that has loaded itself onto my computer
that keeps trying to change my home page and has added
unwanted toolbars to my IE. Can anyone tell me how to
lolcate/remove this program and/or remove toolbars from
IE. I can right click and uncheck the toolbars but I
can't figure out how to permently remove them.
 
Check your system for "hijackware":

You *must* seek updates for Ad-Aware, Spybot, etc., before each and every
use, even "right out of the box". But even then, they can't catch
everything. HijackThis (http://www.merijn.org/files/hijackthis.zip) is the
preferred tool to use these days. It will help to both identify and remove
any hijackware/spyware. **Post your files to http://forums.spywareinfo.com/
for expert analysis, not here.**

Also update your virus definitions and then run a full system scan. From
now on, do both daily.
