Post subject: Security toolbar 7.1 Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windowsxp>help_and_support (more info?)
Whenever I go onto the net instead of my Yahoo homepage coming up I get some
page trying to get me to download Spy Heal or Dr Antispy, it also gives me
an Investigation Report Summary, also a System Security Status: warning.
There i s also an extra toolbar with Security toolbar 7.1 on it also in
green two bars one saying block adware the other remove spyware.
How doI get rid of this Toolbar and stop the unknown home page from appearing
Any help much appreciated
Simon

You've got Zlob, a trojan downloader. Variants of Zlob silently download and install
various third-party rogue spyware and malware scanners to infected computers: Spy
Trooper, SpyAxe, Security Toolbar and the like.
Try uninstalling Security Toolbar from Control Panel> Add or Remove Programs, if it
appears there.

Seems like a classic case of browser hijacking. Try some or even all of
