I guess I've tried just about everything out there (well almost)...like Spybot and Shredder, ect. and they all rounded up a different set of bad things and got them off my computer. I was especially glad to find something to get rid of CoolWWWsearch and Prosearch. My Internet Explorer homepage is no longer hijacked, but the prosearch toolbar is still there and active. I don't think it is a good thing to click on anything on this toolbar (right?) or go to the "disable toolbar" option shown when you rightclick on the prosearch toolbar (right?). How do I get rid of this toolbar?
