Unwanted Toolbars, how to delete.

[Geoff Scott]

My father in laws computer has 2 toolbars with links to porn sites and i was
wondering how to permanently delete them. I take them off but they just
reappear the next time he logs on to the internet. Also his hompage changes
from Virgin to an adult search portal every time he logs on to internet even
after i have changed thr homepage settings in internet properties.
