Adware - a fake tool bar has appeared that has a search
function - then a few links to a couple porn sites for
American Pharma - then it changed to links to kill
poppups.

I can't get rid of the "toolbar". I right clicked on the
tool bar and removed the check mark by it, but every time
I exited and went back on line, the tool bar came back.

I went to Tools in the top bar and the "toolbar" was not
listed.

I removed what I thought was the culprit in "add/remove"
programs, but it didn't work. I still have the tool bar.

Please help me delete this tool bar, and tell me what the
problem is.

Also, is there an agency I can report this to?

Thank you

Spyware/scumware/adware are causing numerous system problems. I recommend
you download and use the following programs and consider removing everything
these programs identify:

AdAware: http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/

CWShredder: http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/cwschronicles.html (download
link near the bottom)

Spybot: http://www.safer-networking.org/

If you find an agency that cares, let us know.
