Try booting up in safe mode then do a scan with adware/spyware removal software. The adware shouldn't load on startup in safe mode so can be removed easily. | |

I got told last night that having a picture as a desktop can increase the start up time by 20 seconds and 5 seconds for each icon. | |

You've got spware/adware. Programs like Ad-Aware, Spybot, SpySweeper will help. Make sure you update all the definitons before you search | |

Run anti spyware/adware software first of all to find out what the name of the toolbar is. Then get back to us with your findings... :) | |
