 I know someone who had this problem. Regardless what he tried nothing worked & he's now using FireFox. I'm using IE 7 beta which so far has proved excellent, especially at keeping the c**p out. Sorry lost link for this I'll post. | |

| Re: new toolbar after reformatting Try downloading and running Spybot and CW Shredder see if that helps. Also if you don't have a firewall turn on the windows firewall in Control Panel> Nework connections>Network conection properties> advanced. May help to stop more spyware. Not sure though. Sounds like the smithfraud virus/SPYware a real PITA. You can do a Google on how to get rid of it.

| Re: new toolbar after reformatting it seems like you have no anti-spyware installed. Ad-Aware SE Personal v1.06 Spybot-S&D Microsoft AntiSpyware install and run all 3 they are free for personal use. also use Firefox instead of IE.
