[+^Gothic_Dreams^+]

i was online last night. and i happend to suddenly get this tool bar installed onto my parents Computer somehow. i think its a spy ware tool bar. i Could be wrong? but im sure thats what it is. i didn't Click on nothing at all online last night and i still got it installed. The tool bar is called ''SearchBar'' and its on the bottom of my parents computer screen.

i ran both Ad Aware 6.0 and Spy Bot search and Destroy. and i even Ran our Norton anti virus and Defrage and Disk cleanup. but after all that the ''searchbar'' was still on there once i restarted the Computer.

and we haven't had any major problems up until this Point.


were running XP Pro on our computer. The searchbar wasn't in the Add Remove programs either i already checked that.

Did you recently install AOL instant messenger or anything else? it usally comes bundled with other stuff.

Look in your add/remove for stuff like "WildTangent Multiplayer Library" or "other things that might not look so familiar....

If you are using XP Pro you could always roll back the system a day or two...


Hope this helps a bit..
