u try uninstalling it?go to controlpanel..Then add or remove progs.....then uninstall the toolbar...note that that bar may cuase trojans spyware or viruses if not removed

yer, tried that, i couldnt find anything that shouldnt be there, ive tried all those spyware/adware/hijacker removal tools, but nothing has worked.

this toolbar also changes your "Page Not Found" page and it changes your homepage frequently, and it also adds a bunch of icons to your desktop advertising casinos, mobiles etc

i have no idea how ive got the **** thing, ive had it previously but i used to be able to close it, but it wont do that anymore

[Hyper]

well then just remove any and all toolbars.

ooh, or just download and use firefox XD

 

[shadowfax1007]

is firefox any good? and will it do most of what IE can do?

Meah, I don't like Firefox. I use Avant. But, to each their own.

firefox is the only browser i've ever used other than IE. mozilla = makers of firefox. netscape = makers of mozilla. XD

i love the tabs tho, does avant whatever have tabs josh?

 

[Vash_the_Stampede]

No, it has it's own window system. XP

Yeah try Firefox. It have used that program before.

I use firefox as my regular browser. As far as the tool bar, find out the name of it, and just google "how to remove (name) toolbar." If you use the search, it should take you to a site that will be responsible for the tool bar and you can look around for removal info.
