what is tfbrbrtrthq or qurriprowow

[JT]

Can anyone tell us what tfbrbrtrthq or qurriprowow are? They show up under
view/toolbars and creates a search bar in IE. We found them in the registry
and tried deleting all references but they then show up in IE

as a blank space and if we click on the blank space the search bar
appears again in IE. Have tried using adaware and spybot with no success.

Thanks

Hi JT,

I do not find any information on either one. However, based upon your post,
it certainly appears that a worm or some adware has been placed on your
system. I would make sure my virus definitions were up to date and you may
want to use Google to search for other software like spybot or adaware.
