| 1380723 | 2014-08-02 10:40:00 | “Smileys we love” toolbar is glued to my computer, probably put there by recent young visitors who spend hours playing games – I’ve tried to remove it with the control panel, add/remove & Ccleaner, unsuccessfully. The search option returns a blank. Anyone help me get rid of it please? | jayal (1291) | ||
| 1380724 | 2014-08-02 10:49:00 | This might be of assistance. malwaretips.com |

| 1380725 | 2014-08-02 11:07:00 | no joy there Whenu, thanks anyway - there's an annoying advert at right bottom, flickering, "your PC is about to crash - click OK to fix it??? | jayal (1291) | ||
| 1380726 | 2014-08-02 11:16:00 | Check startup there's probably something there so it'll run on startup. Delete it | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1380727 | 2014-08-02 11:34:00 | nothing there Speedy, only strange one is "VProtect Application" but I have an idea that's to do with AVG - I run Avast - thanks | jayal (1291) | ||
| 1380728 | 2014-08-02 11:52:00 | Theres a vprot (AVG secure search), and what you said. I think the one youre seeing is malware (forums.malwarebytes.org) | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1380729 | 2014-08-02 12:10:00 | 5876 I disabled that one then Speedy hopefully here's a snap of that advert on the Pressf1 page |

| 1380730 | 2014-08-02 12:15:00 | Delete or disable it with ccleaner if it's installed. Then reboot then use something like malwarebytes to remove the rest of it | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1380731 | 2014-08-02 12:25:00 | there's no reference to it anywhere that I've looked - done the Ccleaner one, and run MWB - maybe I'll sleep on it till tomorrow, cheers | jayal (1291) | ||
| 1380732 | 2014-08-02 12:28:00 | Do a full scan with MWB not a quick scan. Also in ccleaner go to options / advanced. Untick the 2nd option on the right then remove the temp files etc again... | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
