Hi,
You need to remove the malware that's added this toolbar.

Hi,

I have not come across a topic like this or I may have missed it. Anyhow,
my
boyfriend downloaded an Unspyware or something like that and it seems to
have
changed the configuration of the internet explorer toolbar. It's locked
and
there is no unlock toolbar alternative. Plus the unspyware toolbar is
unremovable. I tried to repair and reinstall internet explorer but the
programme is somehow not listed in the to install or uninstall function in
the control panel. ????? What should I do ? I would like to avoid
reinstalling Windows.

Thanks.

/Cindy
