expertec Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 I've been looking on the 'net for it, it seems to be the ISTbar, a toolbar/browser hijacker. I think you should run Hijackthis and post a hijack logFor instructions on how to use HJT if you haven't done it before click here. Post your log in the "HijackThis and Spyware Removal Support" section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark2 Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 This post is possibly a classic example on the advisability of the use of a firewall that monitors incoming and outgoing traffic :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
