While trying to find a NetMeter for monitoring the speed of the broadband
connection I have, I suddenly found Security Alert messages on my computer
warning me that there are spywares on my computer etc and so I must go to
the web-site of some software named NetProject and use their services to
remove the spyware etc.The same software has also added a Toolbar named
Security Toolbar 7.1 to the toolbar I have in I. E. 7.
I am wondering as to how to remove this intruder and ask Microsoft as to how
this intruder could push in, in spite of the Firewall being ON and my Virus
software QuickHeal operational? I am asking QuickHeal too the same question.

Any advice on removing this unwanted bar would be appreciated.

Is your site still filled with that nasty pornographic material you so
proudly claim to have created?

Why would anyone want to download something from your filthy site?

Asked and answered in the other newsgroup to which you posted. Please don't
multipost; it makes more work for everyone and will get you *less* help,
not more. See this for why:

If you have forgotten where you posted or can't find your post, use Google

Thanks for the advice but one cannot be sure that everyone reads each and
every Newsgroup likely to discuss a topic.
Besides you may stop someone like me who is prepared to observe newsgroup
etiquettes but can you stop others who assume that I went and installed the
software of my own volition on my computer? Correspondents should respond if
they have a solution and not for publicizing web-sites or telling the person
with a problem: "after all, it is your own fault". That does not provide any
help. Do you chastise such people?

Restore Your System.

I run XP OS, and I got this Virus, or Ad-ware (whatever) this
afternoon.
After screwing with it for an hour, running Lava-soft anti-Adware, I
called my son and he suggested
going to Control Panel, switching to Catagory View (left tool-bar),
selecting Performance and Management in the Categories.
Then, again in the upper area of the left tool-bar, select Restore
System, click Restore my Computer to an earlier time button,
and then on the calendar that appears pick a day that was before you
got this virus.

I worked for me...I picked yesterday, 5/18, and after the system was
restored my Security Toolbar 7.1, and associated problems,
disappeared.
