Received a 32 bit vista computer with numerous trojans, spyware and hijackers, including trojan downloader vbs. Removed all of these, and the next time I visited the internet, they started coming back. The only thing I left on her computer that I don't

have on this one was the oovoo toolbar, and that made me suspect that it might be a portal.  Installed oovoo toolbar on this computer, and immediately malware started coming in. Uninstalled the toolbar and the malware that came in because of it, and now I'm

in good shape again. Somebody should verify this and post a warning conspicuously on their homepage. This toolbar is really BAD NEWS.
