Hi Lostboy87,
what you have to do is find out who's toolbar it is then go to add & remove in control panel look down the list and try and find it, then remove it, if that does not work try down loading [ AVG FREE ] and let it do a scan of your computer to make sure that there is no virus.

hope this helps

in that case go ang buy anti virus protection right now and scan your computer!
get norton or panda etc

[lostboy87]

try system restoring to a date when you didnt have the virus.

Please ignore the above.

Run this:

to remove all that norton rubbish. Then download these two programs and install them:
http://free.grisoft.com/doc/avg-anti-virus-fre e/lng/us/tpl/v5 (free version)
http://www.download.com/3000-2144-10045910.htm l

Once installed (you may need to restart), update them both and do a full scan of your computer with both of them.

Hello, Listen to fo3nix.
I run AVG free, ad-aware se, zone alarm & ccleaner. Also use the Firefox browser. I'm fairly confident my systems clean.
