This spyware toolbar installed itself when I went to installed itself on my computer. I can't find its registry entry that seems suspicious or any way to uninstall it. And since itsn't spyware anymore than the google toolbar, Ad-aware doesn't see it as spyware. Does anyone out there have any idea of how to get rid of it?

If adaware doesn't work, thats when it is time to get hijack this. Great program, helped me out with my problem. I got one thing then about 8 other things installed myself to the system. It is partially my fault, but mostly microsofts. I went to the update website and got the critical updates it listed. Then it said there were no more updates, which I knew was NOT the case (there were only 2 updates), but restarting didn't help, it still said there were no new ones. Then I got the spyware stuff, got rid of it, then went back to the update AGAIN, and viola, 15 new updates.

I hear ya on the re-install. I got mine two days after a clean install, so I was very tempted to format again if hijack this didn't fix it. Fortunately, it was all gone. Adaware got rid of most of the stuff (400+ registry values), but there was one toolbar left.
