Need to remove Searchbar

[wizardmaster]

Hi,

One computer in the office has downloaded an evil tool called "searchbar".

This happened a few weeks ago.  All it has done is changed the home page of IE, and given spybot some fits.  The computer is an old piece of junk running on a Pentium 1 @ 300mhz making installing things like firewalls impossible. OS is Windows 98.

Spybot finds files and "fixes" them but never gets rid of the "searchbar".

Does anyone have any "Free" ideas? (Besides throwing the old thing out the window and getting a new one)

Thanks in advance.

.............. this happened to me too. Go to one of the site he says and it should help.

The first link's program didn't do anything.  I don't think it's a trojan...but I'm not an expert so I'll just keep my mouth shut.

I appricate the help, I'll try the second one tomorrow.  I'm late for a meeting so I can't do it today.  errr I hate this "searchbar"

if you run across any other ideas please let me know them.

thanks,
