Hi Eric,

My advice in this situation is to double check your installed programs
in the control panel, re-run your virusscanner and use all-in-one
spyware tools like Hitman Pro (http://www.hitmanpro) it is a dutch tool
but i highly recommend it when you have trouble with all kinds of spyware.

Cheers,

Further to this you might like to enter safe mode, then try the scan with
Hitman Pro .......

Hi

Hijack This is very good for 'toolbar problems' or you could try going into
the register yourself and doing a search for 'toolbar6' or
'trafficgeneration' but in theory, you should keep a copy of the changed key
just incase it causes other problems in which case you'll have to reinstall
it.

Good luck
