SP2 toolbar

[Dean Woods]

After installing SP2, I now appear to have a toolbar that
appears each time I open IE. (Seachweb2)?!? I can close
this each time it opens, but I would like to remove this
permemantly... any ideas? help?
Thanks

Searchweb2, brought to you by the fine folks at Lop.com, a particularly
nasty piece of spyware.

You might try running adaware and spybot, or google search for resolutions.

It's nasty malware. Run these programs to check for spyware/malware.
After installing update them, then boot into safe mode and run them.
You should update and run them weekly.

Hi Dean,

You are needing to clean your system. Run all of these, it takes the combo:
