I am helping a friend with his computer where as he go a
program "i-look" that places a favorite bar on the top,
and then sets the home page to its page and procedes to
launch an abundant amount of windows. I have tried
setting the home page back and deleting my temp internet
files, but have had no luck getting rid of the thing.
Please help me by telling me where to look for it and or
just how to get rid of it. If I uninstall explorer and
re-install it will that work? Any help is greatly
appreciated.

Sincerely,
Michael Z
 
Michael,

Reinstalling IE will not solve the problem.

Download the iLookup killer from here:

Also, use Ad-Aware (www.lavasoftusa.com) to scan for any other spyware.
* Update the pattern file first, using "WebUpdate" feature *
