    I was playing poker on pureplay today and i noticed the java icon pop up in my tray. I wasnt sure if it had been there all along or not so i didnt really bother with it. Shorty after i got a few error messages then a MS dos prompt opened up and shortly thereafter was hijacked by antivir pro or something along those lines. It was saying that anything i opened was infected and to buy the program. Long story short i believe the installer was something called streetad toolbar and i didnt see it on the malware list. Just a heads up something maybe worth checking out and putting on there.

    No, no assistance needed. Just thought you might like to know of another toolbar that installs trojans onto peoples machines. Was thinking this should be on the remove list. Again it was streetad toolbar.
