Just ran the scan a second time and it I'm no better off. Still have the additional bar as well as the pop-ups. Everything I manually removed is still gone, I doubt if deleting IE6 would do me any good. My best be would be another browser which isn't IE based, but I lose all of my IE files.

There is something odd going on lately on several forums that I'm also a member of. We're getting a ton of very weird popups. Some are just annoying as heck (full screen needing Alt-F4 to close) and others do what is being described here. No one knows where they're coming from and it is becoming a serious pain.

The popups aren't being caused by spyware as it does it to me whether I've dual booted to Windows 2000 or Windows XP. I've run every known anti-spyware program and found nothing. Thankfully it hasn't FUBARed my computer yet but a lot of other people haven't been as lucky.

Unfortunately, the system no longer considers it a virus. Because you gave permission, the system considers it an installed program. It won't turn up in a virus search anymore than Word would.

Since it is a program, have you tried looking in the installed programs to see if you can uninstall it?

I've seen some pretty tricky stuff done by these guys. I even had a popup which told me it needed to install a program and had no options but OK and even had the close dialog X box in the upper right hand corner greyed. I ctl-alt-deleted out of it.
