Hi- Welcome to TechTalk! :)

1. Did the anti-spyware programs find/fix anything?

2. Have you tried to repair IE? Instructions on how to do so are here:

Hi there thanks for the tips

but i dont hva eie listed in add rmoved programs so cant repair it
followed the link and what they suggest as a restore dosnt work either

anyone got an ideas apart from putting up with it or a completer rebuild

running adaware programs removed a couple of items but nothing pointing towards ie or toolbars

although i did have isearch on here a couple of weeks ago

Some tips:

* Don't install every handy, helpful, wonderful thing you see advertised as 'making life easier for you!' They will usually make life harder, not easier.
* If you are trying to install something, and get one of those dialogue boxes asking "Do you wish to intall......." something else, then DON'T!
* Update both AdAware and Spybot Search & destroy, disconnect from the internet and close all browser windows, and run the tools again, removing anything they report as suspicious.
* Follow any other relevent advice in the 'Helping Yourself" topic in the Security forum section.


Then obtain a copy of the Microsoft Security CD mentioned in this article:
http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread4998.html
and use it to install Internet Explorer again, over the top of your current installation.

1. Open an empty Notepad file.

2. Copy the following and paste it into the new Notepad file.

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoBandCustomize"=-
"NoToolbarCustomize"=-
"Btn_Search"=-
"SpecifyDefaultButtons"=-
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoBandCustomize"=-
"NoToolbarCustomize"=-
"Btn_Search"=-
"SpecifyDefaultButtons"=-

3. Save the file as 'isearchfix.reg'

4. Double click on this file and merge it into your registry.

Your Toolbar Options should now be available.
