1. download spybot s&d http://www.safer-networking.org/ then download mozilla firefox http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/ it's safer than ie 7
2. try this.. go to -start -control panel -add or remove programs -then find the Security Toolbar program.. -click "remove" -it will then uninstall hope that helps!
3. Try one of these... 1. add/remove programs in the control panel 2. Run a search and remove it from the search results window. 3. go to the program files on the C: and delete the folder. 4. Do a system restore for the day prior to the download. best of luck.
4. Firstly update and run your anti-virus product. You can also run a free online scan as well as some malware can actually corrupt or disable your resident security products. Here are a few online scans you can run: Trend - http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ Panda - http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/ActiveScan.htm Norton - http://security.symantec.com/sscv6/default.asp?langid=ie&venid=sym Second download, update and run scans using the following products: SuperAntispyware http://superantispyware.com/ Spybot S&D (free version requires manual updating) http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/ AVG AntiSpyware http://free.grisoft.com/doc/20/lng/us/tpl/v5 Adaware from Lavasoft (free version requires automatic updating) http://www.lavasoftusa.com/products/ad-aware_se_personal.php (These programs can be run in Safe Mode after downloading and updating) Third, after cleaning your system, disable System Restore, reboot and re-enable System Restore when you log back on. This will clear the malware that may still be lurking in System Restore, which could be reinstalled should you need to rollback at some point. Additionally, a reboot may be required to complete the malware removal process. Lastly, you may also want to install the following tool. It is free and requires you to check for and enable updates manually once a week or so. It uses no system resources.
