Security Toolbar 7.1

I have the Security Toolbar 7.1 that installed itself in Internet
explorer. There is now way I can find to remove this from Vista. It addes all
sorts of Trojan, Virus, Worm, and other Malware when clicked on and takes
over you network. I also thought that Vista and IE 7.0 were suppose to be
more secure

Your thought is correct. The culprit causing malware infection is usually
the keyboard operator

the main programs that I found on this are aspycontrol.com and
winspycontrol.com - unfortunately, I blocked them and they still come back -
so I am in the same boat - I hope we get an answer

Include scanning with David Lipman's Multi_AV and follow instructions to
do all scans in Safe Mode. Please see the special Notes regarding using
Multi_AV in Vista.

http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Multi-AV - instructions
http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/siche...ning_tool.html

The site is in German but David's tool is in English so don't let that
worry you. Scroll all the way down to almost the bottom of the page and
you'll see a box titled "Infos Zum Download - Multi-AV Scanning Tool".
You'll see "Download von www pctipp.ch" and the live link to download
Multi_AV.

You can also check to see if there are targeted removal steps for your
malware here:

When all else fails, run HijackThis and post your log in one of the
specialty forums listed at the first link above (not here, please).

Not all tools used will work in Vista and you will need to run them
elevated. Since Vista is so new, it will be a while before removal
techniques and tools are developed. If you are unable to remove the
infection by following the general steps, register at one of the
HijackThis forums as suggested.

Standard caveat: If the procedures look too complex - and there is no
shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a
professional computer repair shop (not your local version of
BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). Please be aware that not all local shops
are skilled at removing malware and even if they are, your computer may
be so infested that Windows will need to be clean-installed. Have all
your data backed up before you take the machine into a shop.

Kayman, thanks I did Google the heck out of it after posting this, but a lot
of the sights work only for xp and did not seem to security.

I did find this sight.

Which walks you through, downloading the XoftspySE seems to have done the
trick. Once I found this it took about 5 hours to completely remove
everything that infected my laptop.

I did find out however most of these sights that say free is a free scan
only, to remove anything you have to pay. But the secret I found was
uninstalling the software after it scans, and upon uninstalling it ask would
you like to delete errors found.

I am also a big fan of Ad-Aware once I got the toolbar removed ad-aware
found ~ 157 file effected and cleaned them up with out a probably.

thanks for your replies
