A hack has gotten into my system and installed and has inserted an accessories bar. How can I eliminate the accessories bar? Also, they have inserted their page, LOF.com, as a defalut when a requested page not found. Is there a way to eliminate this also?

It's Lop.com

Do this:

Download <a target="_blank" href=http://security.kolla.de/>Spybot - Search & Destroy</a>

It looks for spyware, but also targets dialers, keyloggers, and other nasties, and it's freeware.

It's an excellent alternative to Ad-Aware, which has been updated less than frequently in recent times.

After installing, go to the Online tab, and search for and install all updates.

Next, go to the Settings tab &gt; File Sets, and uncheck 'System Internals' and 'Tracks' .

These aren't needed for our present purpose, and you can always experiment with them later on.

Finally, after closing down Internet Explorer, hit 'Check All', and have SpyBot remove all it finds.

Good luck, Tony
