IE Toolbar Hijack.. -.-'

the title speks for it self. thats why you shouldn't let people use your computer without supervising them.

they said they installed um.. a windows media player licence.. then IE had an extra toolbar, and it disabled when i right click on the toolbar, so I can' unslect it, or remove it. I tryed removing it from the registry, computer, so the toolbar dosen't show up any more, but it still won't let me edit my toolbar, here is a screen shot.

so, what can i do? I ran Norton Anti-virus, but I didn't get anything, I ran Ad-Aware, and.. still nothing. I've tryed re-installing IE, but after i'm down downloading it, and its half way though installing, it says that i can't for some reason. [ it dose NOT say that i have a newr version installed, i fixed that already ]

so.. er.. any ideas? -.-'

I tryed it, nothing. since the toolbar really isn't there any more, just some of the effects it had on IE are left behind... i tryed installing IE again right now, and the error said "this application has not passed the windows logo verification test" or something similar.. so.. i'm stumped.. -.-'

Use Spybot and cwshedder to kill all remaining spyware.

Also, did you update adaware before you ran it?

you better clean your system because it will be laden with spyware and a possible trojan.
