Hi
I've got the following problem with my IE 6 SP1 and Win 2000
Seems an ad-software has finally found how to install itself on my system
One day after rebooting my PC, I've had the "Links" and "Address" toolbars
which have appeared in my task bar, and links I didn't know were rotating in
the "Links" toolbar.
I've found I had a new program running on startup, so I've removed it, and
removed the key in the registry. Indeed it has stopped the rotation of the
links, but the "Links" and "Address" toolbars were still appearing after
reboot. Since then I haven't found how to remove them. I've used Lavasoft
Ad-Aware and tried others "pest" finder tools, even checked a bit the
registry,
but nothing has worked. I'm obliged to unselect them any time I start my PC,
which is quite annoying.
One workaround I've found is to disable the Explorer Shell Extension with
TweakUI, but then I also loose my "Quick Launch" toolbar, which is not what
I would like.
Any idea ?
Thanks a lot
