I think you should try other spyware detectors too cause that's what your problem is caused by.

I recommend spysweeper (http://www.webroot.com/wb/products/spysweeper/index.php) and SpyBot S & D (http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=mirrors)

if those still can't deal with the problem try CWS Shredder (http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html).
Finally if you still have problems google for Hijack-This and post a log in softwareworld, where this message should be ;)

ToolbarCop (http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/toolbarcop.htm) is good at this.

I scanned my PC with Ad-aware Pro and SypBot S&D; both were updated.
They found nothing, but I knew something wasn't right so I searched and found ScanSpyware.net (http://www.scanspyware.net/).

I scanned my PC with it and it found 20 items (2 were just cookies).
I backed-up the files and deleted them with this app.
It then asked me if I wanted to reset my IE browser and I selected yes.
Then I ran another scan and it found 2 more.

This is my app. of choice now. I have ran it on all my systems and it has proven itself a keeper.

I see you picked the perfect username for yourself.
Well done.

he is right though...... most of the annoyin crap on the net only works on M$ stuff.......

the best way not to get those bars would be:
1) stop visiting porn sites ;)
2) get mozilla firefox, opera or whatever else u want, as long as its NOT IE.........
