I got this "Security Toolbae 7.1" in my toolbar since 31/08 and can't remove it. What to do?

Question

This question appears to have been asked a year ago, but can't find any useful response. Please help.

Also:

I seem to have to serious problem with a virus protection program that keeps popping up and urges me to be installed, because of the numerous spyware and adware I have on my computer. MacAfee’s scan did not find anything wrong, except for one result: 1 Trojan, Detection name: New Malware.al!enc, but no action was required. How the heck can I stop this program from popping up? The name is Spyware Preventer. Should I activate it?

Answer 1

do not activate anything .

1st ~install and run (then at least weekly) ~"ccleaner"(2 c's) free.

it will remove all temp files and cookies from your PC .

these are from NORMAL web browsing.some though are responsible for some of your problems.

it will also recover some memory.

2nd~ after running ccleaner .

go off line .now try to remove toolbar ~with add and remove program .delete it .

it should go .

the reason to go off line is that these types of aggresive adware programs,reconect to their web page on line .and reconnect themselves.

try these ~if they do not work~add to your question and i will suggest other solutions.

will lookback at your Q shortly.

hope this helps.

Security Toolbar 7.1 is the Internet Explorer toolbar (Browser Helper Object) designed to provide targetet advertisment, while you surf the Web. Security Toolbar may also generate false positives to scare users and trick to download rogue anti-spyware programs. This program can open Windows security backdoors and download other spyware. Remember to backup your regitry before removing Security Toolbar manually.
