Unwanted Security Toolbar P. Jayant 04-10-2008

 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 intryuder and askMicrosoft 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.

 IE7 has an option to be run without extensions: iexplore.exe -extoff

You may probably use Tools->Manage Addons menu to turnoff, turnon add-ons.
Also, here is a useful web-site: http://enhanceie.com/ie/troubleshoot.asp

You visited some unidentified site that said you were infected and you
just willingly went installing their software? You really think the
Internet is always safe?

No. I did not install the software. It went and lodged itself. That is the
ingenuity of these intruders.
