    Howdy all.
    I got home today to realise that my brother had been on the internet and there was this searchforit toolbar on my browser. And I get all these Ad pop ups on sites like Google. I cant find the program that he downloaded. Any ideas how to get rid of this pest.

    Do a seach with anti-spyware tools like S&D and Adaware if that doesn't do the trick then Hi-jack this may do it. After all that wasted time change your browser to a far safer/better one Mozilla Firebird.

    agree with OfflerCrocGod, i'm a newbie to the firebird world but before i cam to my senses adaware and spybot would find at least 20 items when just browsing with normal internet explorer.

    now that i've move to mozilla it doesn't find anything at all.

    it also blocks pops

    ohh and it has tabbed browsing.

    i could go on about how great it is but it not what this thread was for
