Unhappy iSearch toolbar

I just noticed the toolbar in my Internet Explorer. I've used Ad Aware and Spybot to remove it but it's still there. I have no idea how it got there in the first place and I don't have a clue on how to remove the **** thing.

Somebody help me please.

Thank you.

Go here, scroll down the page and download HijackThis! It's an excellent program to get rid of hijackers.

There is a site that has a tutorial for the log that you get when you have HijackThis! do a scan. I think that site is down at the moment, but it is important to read since it explains the log you get from the scan.

Important: Everything found on the log from the scan is NOT bad. Do not check everything and then click fix! This could remove important files.

You can post your log here so that members can help you with the fix.

Smile Thanks!

Thank you so much! I downloaded HijackThis! and it worked! Yeah, I noticed that not all of the stuff that showed up were bad. I just deleted the one with "iSearch" on it.

Thanks again!

I'm glad it worked for you. It's worked many times for me.
