Security Toolbar 7.1

[gitimaya]

Hi,
recently i got my pc infected with a virus and i get a toolbar called Security toolbar 7.1. My operating system is windows Vista. Can anyone help me in getting rid of this virus please. I get unnecessary pop ups saying computer is infeted by a virus and it asks me to buy the product. Please help me on the same.

in ie7 go to manage addons and disable those addons, then go into add/remove programs and see if its in the list and uninstall (unusally it isn't tho).

then use Process Explorer and look for the process that is running all these pop ups (you can get the name of the process or dll from ie7 where you disable them).

then restart the computer with the DVD in the drive and open the repair console, from there delete the dll file form the computer, it can't be done when windows loads (normal or safe).

***when deleting the file make sure you only delete that dll and nothing else
**if it doesn't work then a format might be the answer (what i did, cuz i didn't figure this out until it was too late).
