Explorer Parasites

[Walid]

I get a menu bar that appears everytime i open IE under
the address field. If i go to view/toolbars i see an item
as "atrkrckbdji". When i uncheck this item the menu bar
dissapears. However, if i restart IE again i get the
same thing again. I got a program called SpyBot and it
detected something called "lop.com". I deleted that, so
the menu stopped appearing, but it is still in teh View/
Toolbars list. And from time to time the menu bar re-
appears.

Does anyone know how i can remove that from the registry
somehow. Please help!

Thanks.

bar but i still see the name listed in the View/ Toolbar
menu.

Walid,

Just some extra info about the nefarious Lop. Both of the Home/Main pages
for these two Sites can be of use to keep you wise on most all of the
undesirable spyware leeches.
