FunkyMonkey Posted April 13, 2004 Posted April 13, 2004 i suppose u tried ad-aware and spybot s&d and if u didn't that's a good place to start well if they dont work either use the backup tool from the winXP cd or maybe do a sys restore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimJin Posted April 13, 2004 Posted April 13, 2004 It may be something you downloaded because I just checked my IE(I use SBC mainly) and I dont have that or check the Tools option at the top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

adrenalinepcs Posted April 13, 2004 Posted April 13, 2004 go to start then run then type in msconfig and hit enter then go to the startup tap and look for anything that looks suspicious and turn off anything else you don't need while you're there. That should fix it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
old_oc'er Posted April 13, 2004 Posted April 13, 2004 I have ran ad-aware spybot and all that it won't find it. I am about ready to format my hard drive i uninstalled ie and reinstalled it, it didn't work, My fist is going through the monitor if i don't find out how to get this off my computer, It might just be a toolbar but that is the kind of stuff that makes me mad. SO please help in anyway possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LobbDogg Posted April 13, 2004 Posted April 13, 2004 I think that one may be able to be uninstalled through Add/Remove programs. but it might also get installed with something else. Some of those are a real pain in the ace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vampire Posted April 13, 2004 Posted April 13, 2004 I have that exact same thing... comes back every now and again and its VERY annoying! That link didnt work linux Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClayMeow Posted April 13, 2004 Posted April 13, 2004 when you right-click on it, what's the name that it gives? I remember awhile back some dumbass toolbar installed itself on my computer, and it couldn't be uninstalled/removed by "normal" means. I found the website of the toolbar and went to it, and sure enough, there was a link there that said something like "if *** toolbar was installed accidently and you would like to remove remove it, click here", so i clicked there, and after confirming, it removed it. stupid thing. lol. I since blocked that site in my HOSTS file, so i'd never get it again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
