OK, I ran the toolbarcop & disabled all suspect items, no good
though. I disabled all suspect items via manage toolbar add-ons, but
no joy. The tool bar appears as a separate tool bar at the base of
ie6, so if you close ie6 the toolbar remains. I can't seem to post a
screen shot of it, so I'll describe whats on it.
Blue two level bar with symbols & headings followed by
top level (symbol)& Make Money,(symbol)Music (symbol)Casino
lower level (symbol) Travel (symbol)mortgage (symbol)Credit
& then boxes with the words Dating,Travel,Casino,Computer & Insurance
& then a search bar & a magnifying glass
Here's hoping someone can get rid of it
First eliminate any scumware.
CAUTION!!!!! Before you try to remove spyware using any of these programs ,
download a copy of LSPFIX from any of the following sites:
http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm
http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html
(if your OS is Win2k or XP) The process of removing certain malware may kill
your internet connection. If this should occur, this program, LSPFIX, will
enable you to regain your connection.

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated with the program's update function
before every use, even when just downloaded. There's also a lot more to do
than just those two programs. CWShredder is also available here:
