Toolbar.dll

[Rick]

I think I may have a viruds on my home computer. when it
first boots up I get the message LoadQM did not load,
please reboot computer if you have further problems. Then
when I try to use my browser, version 6, I get IExplorer
detected an unknown error in Toolbar.dll, IExplorer will
now close, if you have more problems please restart your
computer. I have tried to fix it in the Control panel. I
have reloaded it, and I have tried restarting my
computer. I am at my wits end. Any help will be greatly
appreciated. I can be reached at my company email, as my
home one is not working, (e-mail address removed)

Rick,
toolbar.dll indicates the Xupiter parasite/hijacker. Spybot S&D from
http://security.kolla.de/ should be able to remove it.
