I've run Spybot, but am still unable to get rid of the annoying Startium Search toolbar in IE that appears everytime I start up IE. I'd appreciate any help possible. Here's my Hijackthis log: Logfile of HijackThis v1.97.6 Scan saved at 4:01:08 PM, on 11/17/2003 Platform: Windows 2000 SP3 (WinNT 5.00.2195) MSIE: Internet Explorer v5.00 SP2 (5.00.2920.0000) Running processes: C:\WINNT\System32\smss.exe C:\WINNT\system32\winlogon.exe C:\WINNT\system32\services.exe C:\WINNT\system32\lsass.exe C:\WINNT\system32\svchost.exe C:\WINNT\system32\spoolsv.exe C:\WINNT\System32\ati2evxx.exe C:\Program Files\Network Associates\VirusScan\avsynmgr.exe C:\Program Files\Network ICE\BlackICE\blackd.exe C:\WINNT\System32\elevate.exe C:\WINNT\System32\svchost.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VS7Debug\mdm.exe C:\Program Files\EPOAgent\naimas32.exe C:\WINNT\System32\PGPsdkServ.exe C:\WINNT\system32\regsvc.exe C:\WINNT\system32\MSTask.exe C:\WINNT\system32\vnxserv.exe C:\WINNT\System32\WBEM\WinMgmt.exe C:\WINNT\system32\svchost.exe C:\Program Files\Network Associates\PGP for Windows 2000\PGPservice.exe C:\Program Files\Network Associates\VirusScan\VsStat.exe C:\Program Files\Network Associates\VirusScan\Vshwin32.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\Network Associates\McShield\mcshield.exe C:\Program Files\Network Associates\VirusScan\Avconsol.exe C:\Program Files\Network Associates\VirusScan\Webscanx.exe C:\WINNT\Explorer.exe C:\WINNT\System32\Atiptaxx.exe C:\Program Files\Apoint\Apoint.exe C:\WINNT\System32\PRPCUI.exe C:\Program Files\Apoint\Apntex.exe C:\WINNT\mwsvm.exe C:\WINNT\System32\rundll32.exe C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync\WCESCOMM.exe C:\Program Files\Network Associates\PGP for Windows 2000\PGPtray.exe C:\Documents and Settings\hct9188\Desktop\HijackThis.exe R1 -

Try out Cwshredder to correct the problem: http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip

Actually there is a simpler way to get rid of this annoying tool bar. Do a search for the following files: stlbdist.dll stlbupdt.dll stlbad.dll When you find one or all of these files, rename them to something else like stlbdist.old. Make sure IE is not running when you do this. Once you do this, restart IE and the tool bar will be gone. I tried that Cwshredder program but it didn't work. I know this works.

I got rid of it bye clicking tools on my browser then internet options then the advance tab then took the check mark out of (Enable third party browser extensions)hit apply and restart your computer..
