Hi, I was wondering if you could help me with this problem I have. (I'm running XP) There's this "Search Assistant" thing on my toolbar and whenever I uncheck it... it comes back next startup. :(

I've tried deleting in My Programs directory but I couldn't find it, I used Spybot-S&D (with all updates) on it too and it didn't pick it up.

Thanks,
j4s[p]

As this is definitely a malware issue, I've moved this thread to the appropriate forum.
