Unwanted tool bars-help me get rid of them!

C

Cheri

I keep getting these (total of 3) tool bars that i can't
get rid of. I click on VIEW, TOOL BARS and then uncheck
the ones that I dont' want (Global, I-Look and another
one) and then check LOCK TOOL BAR. I do that and they go
away but the next time I log on, there they are again. How
do I get them to go away for good! Thanks for any help.

Hi Cheri,

Download the iLookup killer from here:
http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/utils/ilookup_kill.exe

To remove the Toolbar: Use ToolbarCop:

Manual Removal:

Also, use Ad-Aware (www.lavasoftusa.com) to scan for any other spyware.
* Update the pattern file first, using "WebUpdate" feature *
