Basically, was surfing the net and those usual 'do you want to install' messages came up. I clicked no but a search toolbar with loads of links showed up. This isn't the problem. Since this 'Searchtoolbar' has showed up, a trojan alert appears virtually everytime I open a new browser opened, and AVG is incapable to heal, delete or move it. Just now I signed into SR chat forums and was redirected to a poker site. Usually you can right click in the browser to unselect toolbars you do't want, but everything is shaded grey. Also, in add/remove programs there is nothing. Apart from something called Wareout which searched the computer when I wasn't looking and wanted to erase important files.

Well getting rid of that spoof scanner was easy but the toolbar is a lot more tricky due to the fact it doesn't seem to be found by spybot, ad-aware or a-squared, and spy doctor which usually sorts bull like this out now has a 'problem unpacking'. Final clue to what might be going on is the fact Ikeep on getting this 'windows firewall message' talking of unusual activity. Now on windows 98se with zone alarm it doesn't take a genius to realise this is a load of rubbish. So, any help would be greatly appreciated, and maybe there might be a free trip to New york to sort out the guy behind this

Ad-aware, spybot, Asquared and even the AOL spyware finder haven't. If spydoctor was working I'd put my money on it, nut I keep on getting a code 4 error

I think a fully updated Spybot should get rid of this for you. otherwise try Microsoft AntiSpyware and/or AdAware.

One of 'em will get it.

Nah. Unfortuently it's not. Maybe unrelated but Word no longer loads.

BTW, I think I'll give spysweeper a miss because a) it's not free and b) I think my three other spy apps would have found it if possible

Download spysweeper or something and see if that removes it
