Lets see...i was working today on my computer and then this thing came up from windows media player. I thought that it was a update or something so i said Yes. But then after i opened my internet explorer, i found out that a new toolbar was there below my Google toolbar. When i right click on the place (where you can select which toolbar you want or not), all the toolbars were grayed out. you couldnt select any of those. I am really fed up with this and it says ISEARCH on the toolbar. Anyone with any ideas, how to remove it?
Thank you

PS - I scanned my computer with Ad-Aware too, it couldnt find anything. I also scanned my computer with Spybot and it did not find anything too...

Hello Harsh,

First of all, iSearch is spyware. To uninstall it, go to their uninstall page:

http://toolbar.isearch.com/uninstall/

It should work.

And yes, Spybot and Adaware does not pick this software up. That is just sad.

harsh, For the greyed out toolbars problem go to the link below. Read the instructions at the top of the page.
Scroll down to:
