    Hi

    I have a WinXP home pc here that was heavily infected with spyware. I have ran ad-aware and spybot on it. it is now connecting to the net much better but there is a couple of searchbars that I cannot seem to remove.
    One is a HTML page that's about 3cm tall that sits above the taskbar when ever IE is launched and one is a toolbar in IE. I believe they are the same program called 'search the web'. the website that it gets its info from is http://srch.lop.com has anyone seen this before or can give me some info on removing?

    Many thanks

    Many thanks for the reply Lonny.
    I managed to remove in the end by booting into safe mode and deleting all temp files, recycler files and temp internet files.

    But I will bookmark this uninstaller for future reference
