So I'm trying to delete crap on my computer and I come across this on my C drive:

I have no idea wtf is it and i click on the webpage (install)
and then all of a sudden it frickin installs some gay toolbar (I-lookup.com bar)
BTW: Both files named install I have never seen before, they are probably the same thing?

Now I get fucked up pop ups and ads to block pop ups for porn and virus crap.

Any idea how I can uninstall this toolbar or something

Thanks.

If you switch to using FireFox for your browser you'll find you have less problems with popups and sneaky ad-software (if any).

Try Spybot search and destroy for adware.. and to prevent popups, also try the google toolbar.

go into your control panel and then the add/remove software icon.
Now look and see if there is any programs like I-lookup or such, and delete them. This might work. If not, do a search for I-lookup files and maybe you can pinpoint where it is stored.

it might be something from the sasser worm. i know my other comp gets those msgs, and it does have the saasser.

ctrl+alt+delete
processes
then end AVSERVE.EXE
and AVSERVE2.EXE

might help a bit?

if u find a solution, email me at [email protected]
