Unwanted Security Toolbar

[Guest P. Jayant]

While trying to find a NetMeter for monitoring the speed of the broadband

connection I have, I suddenly found Security Alert messages on my computer

warning me that there are spywares on my computer etc and so I must go to

the web-site of some software named NetProject and use their services to

remove the spyware etc.The same software has also added a Toolbar named

Security Toolbar 7.1 to the toolbar I have in I. E. 7.

I am wondering as to how to remove this intruder and ask Microsoft as to how

this intruder could push in, in spite of the Firewall being ON and my Virus

software QuickHeal operational? I am asking QuickHeal too the same question.

 

Any advice on removing this unwanted bar would be appreciated.

Asked and answered in the other newsgroup to which you posted. Please don't

multipost; it makes more work for everyone and will get you *less* help,

not more. See this for why:

Is your site still filled with that nasty pornographic material you so

proudly claim to have created?

 

Why would anyone want to download something from your filthy site?

Re: Unwanted Security Toolbar

 

Thanks for the advice but one cannot be sure that everyone reads each and

every Newsgroup likely to discuss a topic.

Besides you may stop someone like me who is prepared to observe newsgroup

etiquettes but can you stop others who assume that I went and installed the

software of my own volition on my computer? Correspondents should respond if

they have a solution and not for publicizing web-sites or telling the person

with a problem: "after all, it is your own fault". That does not provide any

help. Do you chastise such people?

Restore Your System.

 

I run XP OS, and I got this Virus, or Ad-ware (whatever) this

afternoon.

After screwing with it for an hour, running Lava-soft anti-Adware, I

called my son and he suggested

going to Control Panel, switching to Catagory View (left tool-bar),

selecting Performance and Management in the Categories.

Then, again in the upper area of the left tool-bar, select Restore

System, click Restore my Computer to an earlier time button,

and then on the calendar that appears pick a day that was before you

got this virus.

 

 

I worked for me...I picked yesterday, 5/18, and after the system was

restored my Security Toolbar 7.1, and associated problems,

disappeared.
