    Hi Macroman,

    Check the following items in HijackThis.
    Close all windows except HijackThis and click Fix checked:

    Then download and run CWShredder

    Thanks Pieter for your instant reply. I did all you asked me to do. But the problem still persisted.
    The Hijack This process looked like this after the treatment prescribed by you.

    Nevertheless I have solved the problem now . I used a software called Regseeker ver 1.30 and it had an option to remove this.

    Thanks a lot in any case I guess the treatment you prescribed also has helped me in removing this annoying xxxtoolbar process.

    My computer contracted this in the first place when I went checking for a crack for sygate.

    <asking for or offering cracks is not allowed on this board>


    Thanks,

    Macroman :cool:

    Hi MacroMan,

    After cleaning the log the Uninstall entry in the registry was orphaned and safe to remove, so you did the right thing.

    Sygate has a very nice free version if you are not willing/able to pay for it.
    Looking for cr@cks will usually get you into more problems then solutions.

    This will offer some more (free) protection:

    Regards and be carefull out there,
