help me ....Are all the utility programs you listed up to date with the latest updates ......for example are you running Ad-Aware Ver 6 build 181 .....Go to Symantec site...
http://www.symantec.com/index.htm go to the Download part and select security check ......run both
Security scan and virus scan.....Then I would D/l Zone Alarm ( the free version)
http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/company/products/znalm/freeDownload.jsp?lid=zadb_zadownWhen you setup Zone Alarm ........you popups will probably ask for permission to access the internet ...answer no ......
After doing the scans I would do a search using the search function in Win XP . ( but first go into the control panel ......folder options and tick " show hidden files" and untick " hide hidden operating system files ") Search all files and folders for whatever the search bar is your trying to get rid of and delete it . One more thing .....go up to the "View" button up top on your explorer and click on it ...select toolbars and see it its shows up there ....if it does make sur its not ticked
let us know how you make out ,
