Every time I start IE6 it opens with the search toolbar. How can I permanently get rid of this toolbar. I can get rid of it by right clicking and deselecting it, but next time I launck IE it is back again.

Also I am unable to resize or move the address bar. The "lock toolbar" option is turned off.
My OS is 2000 Profesional

Please help

Have you tried using Spybot to check if there is some spyware that got installed on your system?

Unzip, doubleclick HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".

I have exactly the same problem as guitarman566.
Should I post the log from HijackThis?

Here's the log. I hope it'll help.
It's very annoying.
I wanted to uninstall IE6, but it's impossible.

You should also remove these, but it's up to you (the google tool bar is a matter of choice...comet is total crap...do yourself a favor and lose it):

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {1678F7E1-C422-11D0-AD7D-00400515CAAA} - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\COMET.DLL
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {AA58ED58-01DD-4d91-8333-CF10577473F7} - c:\program files\google\googletoolbar1.dll
O2 - BHO: CSBrBHO - {96DA5BEE-4ACC-476C-B3EC-54C6730C4293} - C:\PROGRAM FILES\COMET\INSTALL\TEMP\BRBHO12A.DLL


If you choose to lose the Google toolbar, then also delete this:

O3 - Toolbar: &Google - {2318C2B1-4965-11d4-9B18-009027A5CD4F} - c:\program files\google\googletoolbar1.dll

Additionally, kill these:

O8 - Extra context menu item: &Download with &DAP - C:\PROGRA~1\DAP\dapextie.htm
O8 - Extra context menu item: &Google Search - res://C:\PROGRAM FILES\GOOGLE\GOOGLETOOLBAR1.DLL/cmsearch.html
O8 - Extra context menu item: Cac&hed Snapshot of Page - res://C:\PROGRAM FILES\GOOGLE\GOOGLETOOLBAR1.DLL/cmcache.html
O8 - Extra context menu item: Si&milar Pages - res://C:\PROGRAM FILES\GOOGLE\GOOGLETOOLBAR1.DLL/cmsimilar.html
O8 - Extra context menu item: Backward &Links - res://C:\PROGRAM FILES\GOOGLE\GOOGLETOOLBAR1.DLL/cmbacklinks.html
O8 - Extra context menu item: Translate Page - res://C:\PROGRAM FILES\GOOGLE\GOOGLETOOLBAR1.DLL/cmtrans.html

And finally, without fail, kill this:

O14 - IERESET.INF: START_PAGE_URL=http://www.tntsb.com/anymail/

Hey carrr!

It's not working.
When I restart my computer, all of those R1s are back again.

I don't know what to do.
It annoys me a lot.

Got something against my post ?

Do what it says - if you're still having problems after that - post a new log.
