IE 6.0 Tool Bar

When I click on the View/Toolbars, there is a toolbar
displayed called estfrxssgll. When I click on it, it
brings up another toolbar for doing Searches,
News/MP3/Gambling/Entertainment/Books etc..... How do I
remove this from the toolbars selction. Any help would
be appreciated...... Thanks, Bob

Hi Bob,

First option is to run Ad-Aware scan (www.lavasoftusa.com). If the toolbar
entries are not removed still,

ToolbarCop:
http://www.angelfire.com/dragon/sramesh2k/utils/ToolbarCop.exe

Manual Procedure:
Start Registry Editor (Regedit.exe)
Go to the following location and check each GUID sub-key. One of which is
the malware toolbar entry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions

Also, check here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions
{check the values in the right-pane to identify the malware toolbar.)

Spot the entry and delete the appropriate key (backup the registry first)
