Strange "toolbar" at bottom of IE window

It must have happened to someone else.

I've seen that toolbar on a few computers before. I've also successfully removed it with a combination of Ad-Aware, Spybot, HiJackThis, and AVG Antivirus (all with the most current definitions of course). I'm not sure what you're doing wrong though to allow it to keep showing up.

Try rebooting the machine and running HiJackThis before you remove anything with any of the other programs. And then post the log again.

Hello

Try this link and Read it and see if this works. http://www.windowsbbs.com/showthread.php?t...10&page=1&pp=15 It worked for my Uncle and after he did it. It never came back. I hope this works for you.

That toolbar looks nice. Well designed.

Sorry this will not work for you. I thought I read search bar but it was toolbar.

Sorry.

Wow you've got the same toolbar as the one on my sister's account (doesn't appear when opening IE in other accounts though :p)

my god all these IE users here and not one has given this poor chap the right advise.

It may not be as hard as you think, first check Add/Remove programs list for a tool/search bar. If there is one uninstall it.

Then check this folder: C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files

Right click each item and check its properties. Any which have tool or search bar right click it and remove. This should sort you out.

I tried Add/Remove programs, and found an entry called: "Search Assistant - My Search", but when I click toChange/Remove, all I get is an empty window titled: "res://C:PROGRA~1\MyWay\SrchAstt\1.bin\mysrchas.dll/101" in which nothing ever loads...

I looked through your Hi-jack This logfile.

Remove "PartyPoker" from your computer.

What is "Knob Amok Long Browse"? Could this also be part of your problem?

Edit: Added the "Knob Amok" bit.

Okay, here's the thing. I got that at a client's place not long ago. Someone installed Messenger Plus! without reading through the installer. :p

Just uninstall Messenger plus! and read through the uninstaller. It should remove the bar with it. IF IT DOESN'T, just repeat what the people said a tad higher. After, reinstall messenger plus BUT BY READING THE INSTALLER and choose not to install the sponsor program.

That should fix it.

if you are using sp xp 2 go into manage addons in ie and disable it there it should work :D
