    I am plagued by a large toolbar at the bottom of the desktop that redirects my searches through "Search the Web ". Toolbar lists thing like mortgage, casino, money, travel, etc...
    I've tried Spywareblaster, Pest Patrol, Adaware, Spybot, CWShredder, Bazooka and the problem still shows up. A lot of the problem is the fact that my friends come to me when they have probs, so I have to find a solution before someone else catches this little beasty.
    Believe it or not, in the middle of trying to get rid of this one I picked up Realtoolbar also!! Got rid of that one.
    They're trying to drive me nuttier than I already am. :eek:
    Any ideas out there in Cyberland??

    Download HijackThis.exe from here. Save it to a permanent folder (I create a new folder in C:\ named HJT). Open and hit scan, then save log. Once it is saved it will open in notepad. Select all from the edit button, copy and paste the results here. Don't fix anything with it yet!
