Hi. Yesterday night my friend instant message me with this "look at my cool picture" link. I clicked on it because she always gives me links to look at her pictures. All of a sudden Aol Instant Messenger started to IM everybody. Later on, when i opened the internet explorer, i saw a toolbar that is called yupsearch. I tried everything to remove it, but it doesn't work. Please help!! Thanks in advance.

Download LQfix.exe and place it on your desktop.
Doubleclick LQfix.exe and click install.
Leave the default settings. If you change them, the fix will fail.
Make sure 'Launch LQfix' is checked. After clicking finish in the install, the fix will start.
Follow the prompts on the screen.
Your system will reboot afterwards.
Please be patient after reboot, because there is a script running in the background.

After this, post a fresh HijackThis log.

I also downloaded that program and it did work to get rid of the toolbar. Here is my new Hijack This Log. Thanks A lot.
Petter

Any Help is greatly appreciated
