    the other day i was browsing the web and i dont even know if i clicked yes to any downloads, but there is now an extra toolbar under my address bar on IE. Its from a company or something called "isearch ".

    i tried locating the software on my HD and cant. I cant find it on my add/remove list either.

    when i go to my view\toolbars it wont let me select anything. (or uncheck anything, including the isearch) i think this is something the software coded so you have to use their toolbar.?.!?

    one good thing about it is it did come with a very nice pop up blocker. .... but i have a feeling its putting spyware on my computer (im finding more and more with adaware) not only that its just annoying.

    anyone else have this problem or had it? how do i get rid of this stupid toolbar?


    thanks in advance

    Get Spybot, update it, then do the scan, remove everything already checked off. If it asks to be run at startup, allow it.
    After using Spybot, use HijackThis and post the log on here.
    The links are below.

    Also, in Internet Explorer, go to Tools>Internet Options>Advanced tab and uncheck all references to "Install on Demand," click OK. That won't stop all drive-by installations but it will forestall a few.
