Unwanted IE Toolbar removal

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

While visiting a website a trojan horse/spyware program intalled a annoying
toolbar in IE that does not allow it to be removed. How can I get rid of it
manually!

Download, install, update and run all of the following.

If none of the above fixes the issue then download Hijack this, run it, save
a copy of the log file and cut and paste it back here to this group so that
I can analyze it. Ignore anyone who tells you to post it elsewhere. I need
to see it not them.

Microsoft's Mike Brannigan has officially requested that you stop directing
users to post HijackThis logs to the MS public newsgroups.

Please see

I would HIGHLY recommend not downloading program files from some unknown
individual's personal website.
Get them from the original developers' site.

You can do a google search to find them.
For instance, Ad Aware's free personal SE version is available at:
http://www.lavasoft.de/support/download/

Please do NOT post hijack this logs in this forum, this is not the place for
them, not the place for them to be analyzed, and totally inappropiate to
post to this forum. IF you download the program, you will find the proper
forums to post hijack this logs to be analyzed and get the appropiate
feedback for them. I would also recommend only getting it from the
developers website.

Hear, hear!

Do you think Lavasoft.de, Safer-Networking.org and Merijn have approved
pcbutts' offering these licensed apps on his website? I don't think so...
In fact, I think I'll alert them to this.

I don't work Mike Brannigan and there is nothing he can do about it. Why the
hell do you keep bothering me?

If Mike or any other Softie here, including Newsgroups Admin, John Eddy
(who's fully aware of your behavior), feels you've breached the Rules of
Conduct* here, further posts from you may be banned.

We keep bothering you about it because posting and interpreting HT logs here
may be putting the original poster and other posters here at risk of doing
irreparable damage to their systems by taking bad or even inapplicable
advice.

The same reason many other prominent contributors to these forums do.
This is NOT the place to post hijack this logs, the reason has already been
explained, very politely, by many. A MS employee has already addressed this
with you.
Why is it so hard for you to see this?

You undoubtedly have some knowledge that can help others, but you are going
about it WAY wrong, and by your continued defiance , and disrespect for
others and this forum, you are doing nothing but alienating yourself, and
that is truly sad.

You thick head bastard. I have not done that. It's that simple. You and
other MVP's seem to think so. Any advice given in this or any group can be
harmful Asking for a log is not. I am going to keep doing it so live with it
and stop wasting your time trying to stop me. I can care less if they post
the log or not, it costs me nothing. if they do post it then I will analyze
it and fix it. You are bordering on harassment and if it keeps up I will
report you and every other MVP who keeps harassing me.
