when you go to 'dodgy' websites they install shit like that without asking/being noticed

Adaware
Spybot
cwshredder

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.

probably better off using a specific remover though to be sure.

And run the free tool it will get rid of any unwanted programs :thumbs:

if it's cool webs search get cwshredder. I have it if you want it?

Its coolwebsearch spyware or one of its many variants, tis an absolute bastard to get shot of.

Format C: :P

My PC keeps turning itself off :lol: Format C job i think :lol:

that hapens with mine. so i downloaded firefox :P

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.
There was a lad who had a video shortcut on his desktop and the file was 2 meg or something and took him ages to load until he deleted it off the desktop :!

as above, but for that you may find something in add/remove programs

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... :)

Get a spyware remover like adaware for free and run it

format c:\

grrr, this is pissing me off now. Every other day or so these icons appear on my desktop-



This tool bar appears as well-



and IE goes really slow everynow and again. When i delete the icons they dont go to the recycle bin, they just dissapear, and the tool bar says i need to to delete it from add/remove programs list, but its not in there. Help me please :(
