    Hi there
    I am VERY new to all this (so apologise for any repeated qustions - or not knowing where to look), and I am trying very hard to rid my PC of all nasties (thanks to teenage daughter! Have recently downloaded Spybot and Adaware SE and also Spywareblaster - which work well. But seem to have this LOP menu bar appear whenever I open Explorer. And WILL NOT close or delete.
    Any info greatly appreciated! (please, in lay-man's terms !!)
    thnaks heaps

    Yes LOP is a pest I had on my comp for a while till I decided to actually visit LOP.com and discovered to my bewilderment that they have a fix!!

    www.lop.com/new_uninstall.exe

    Download and run this file on each login user and a-presto! All Done!

    Restart your computer.

    Best to also run Ad-Ware and SpyBot plus a Virus Checker after that just to make sure ;)

    btaussie,

    We usually dont request users to run uninstallers as they are not trusted completely. However as a last resort we sometimes do. Thanks for the information though.

    jojo66,

    I would like for you to please follow ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal

    After doing ALL of the above if you still have a problem:


    • Unzip the hijackthis.exe file to a folder you create named C:\Program Files\HJT
    • Do NOT run Hijack This from the Desktop, a temp folder, or a sub-folder of C:\Documents and Settings, or choose to run it directly from the ZIP file.
    • Before running HijackThis: You must close each of the following:your web browser, e-mail client, instant messenger, and programs like notepad, wordpad, MS Word etc. And any other unnecessary running programs.
    • Run HijackThis and save your log file.
    • Post your log as an ATTACHMENT to your next post. (Do NOT copy/paste the log into your post).
