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.

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)

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)
