| 490619 | 2006-10-10 21:21:00 | I have this weird protection bar thing and it won't let me remove the bugger.. It's annoying me, does anybody know how to get rid of it??? Help! | sunkah (11272) | ||
| 490620 | 2006-10-10 21:37:00 | Go to Mitre10 and get the heaviest mallet and cold chisel you can find, then whack the heck out of it. Simple. Or if that's too complex for you, describe in a LOT more detail what the problem is and what your system is running. |

| 490621 | 2006-10-10 22:03:00 | All I know is it has new toolbar in IE window. It appeared yesterday when I had a virus attack. I forgot the name of the virus but the toolbar says 'protection bar' and beside it are four other secuirty tabs that lead to 'remove adware popups', 'spam protection', scan for spyware' and secuirty test'. | sunkah (11272) | ||
| 490622 | 2006-10-10 22:06:00 | I'm not much of a computer person so what is meant by 'what my computer is running' ??? | sunkah (11272) | ||
| 490623 | 2006-10-10 22:09:00 | We need to know what operating system your PC is running. What antivirus & firewall software as well. Any specs of the PC might be helpful as well like CPU, RAM etc. |

| 490625 | 2006-10-10 22:26:00 | You have malware. See the FAQ here on Spyware for tools to install to remove it and keep your PC free off this sort of stuff. |

| 490627 | 2006-10-11 02:14:00 | Glad you got it sorted, sunkah. You didn't say what anti-virus & firewall you're using. So if that was a No, you'd best get those sorted also - to guard against any more nasties... |
