Some how a program has been installed on my computer to
automatically add XXX links to my internet Favorites list
every time I go on the internet. I delete the XXX links
but next time I go on the internet they are added back to
my favorites listing. I've gone to the "Add Remove
Program" in windows and can see a program called
XXXToolbar but I can't remove it! And I can't find where
it is located on my C drive. Does anyone know how I can
get rid of this program !!!
