Surfer Bar Trials

[Lynn]

I have tried everything. I can't get rid of it. SpyBot S & D doesn't detect
it. Ad-aware doesn't detect it. SpyWare Balster doesn't detect it. Hijack
This does detect it, BUT everytime I delete it and run a new scan it's back.
It's attached to something else somewhere, and I have no idea where. This is
getting very annoying. It ahs altered the appearance of my browser, adding
the links bar and removing the address bar, and everytime I restore those
and close out IE it resets everything. I have completely run out of ideas.
Anyone else?
Another thing that doesn't help is that I never downloaded any programs that
could have it attached. Other than the "fix-it" programs from today I
haven't downloaded anything knowingly in months.lol It got me from a random
pop-up somewhere.

Ad-aware does not target Surfer Bar, yet.
