Follow these steps: http://aumha.org/a/quickfix.htm

You will need to do the HijackThis log at the end, but do the other steps
first.

George,
Your last resort if Ad-aware, SpyBot, CWShredder, etc don't work
is 'HijackThis'.

Another idea is to look in the folder C:\Windows\ Look for a file called
"toolbar.dll". With IE closed, delete the file.

I had this same problem and found that my spyware programs were not deleting
this vital file used for the ISearch toolbar. The only spyware program that I
have found that will correctly delete this file is Webroot's Spysweeper.

To keep from having this problem again, I created a new text file and then
named it "toolbar.dll" and under "Properties" made it "Read Only". At zero
bytes, spyware programs will not recognize the "dummy" file as a threat & it
can keep any new installation of the ISearch bar from being fully installed
on your PC. However, you will still need to remove the registry entries when
they appear in your spyware detections.

Good god !! Seems like the thing was finally removed
using the Spybot....but my Windows won't start up now. It
keeps on showing the message "updating system settings"
forever ! I tried 'alt+ctrl+del' during that time and
found peculiar things like "Removal Tool" "Kill" etc.
along with the regular things in the task manager.

Pleeeeaaase HELP me !!!

Try booting once into Safe Mode (you may need to hold down the Ctrl key or
tap the F8 key repeatedly to get there) and see if the computer will start
up. If so, immediately restart it and let it start normally. Does that
sort things out?
