i keep getting a toolbar downloadind on my comp.its called elite and when i remove it it comes back. also the same with bargin buddy and navi search. how can i remove it without it coming back? i run adaware by lavasoft and spysweeper. it removes it but always comes back. thanksUse the spyware scanners in safe mode.

Advanced Uninstaller Pro 2004 is capable of removing toolbars from Internet Explorer.Have you downloaded any software or installed any...some spyware maybe embeded in it...jms...What operating system are you using ?
Reboot your pc into safe mode. If you go up to the top of the page with IE6 open ......click on view and then choose toolbars....see if any of the tool bars you listed are SHOWN there and ticked ...( remove the tick marks) . Next ....click start / search .......and make sure that your search is set to look in hidden files(click on the more advanced options ) tick ...system folders , Hidden folders and subfolders. Now do a search for each of the items.....and note where they are and delete them.
When you have that complete.......go into control panel ....Add/remove programs and see if there are any entries there refering to any of those items......( if there are remove them) . When you finish the above , run Ad-aware and spy sweeper ( again while in safe mode )

Now , do you have any kind of a registry cleaner ?
If you don't I WOULD suggest you click start /run / regedit
now when registry editor OPENS ......go up and click edit...and scroll down and click on "Find" ......again enter the name .....ie bargin buddy and let it search for it ...if its there it will take you right to its location .( delete it ) and so on until you have checked for all three .....Just a word of CAUTION .....if you are not comfortable deleting registry items .....have someone that is do it for you and be sure to back up the registry before you make any changes just in case .

let us know how you make out

dl65 thanks for the help everyone. i was able to GET rid of it by using advanced uninstaller pro. then i went to the registry and searched for it and it was all gone. thanks again. jmsYou can also Advanced Uninstaller Pro 2004 to clean your registry. The registry scanner is not as thorough as other (more recommended) scanners but it is adequate.IM TRYING TO FIND OUT FOR MY BROTHER IN LAW IF HE TRIES TO RESTORE HIS COMPUTER WILL IT KILL ANY SPYWEAR HE HAS CONTACTED?

Very doubtful, Use a spyware scanner instead..
