Elite Toolbar

[w1lders]

When I run SpySweeper, I see the Elite toolbar item plus a few traces, which I clean, then they appear back again, checking hijack this, I dont really see a problem, this was taken in safe mode. I have tried several things to clear this, but noithing seems to work...

Spysweeper isnt very good.

Download Spybot, AdAware, (Links Above) Delete what they find, Remove cookies, Temporary Internet files,Empty Recycle Bin, then post a new log, thanks..........Jim

I have also been infected with elite toolbar (searchmiracle.com) i tried getting rid of it with spyware removers such as adaware,spybot,and spydoctor .they all delete this menace but it regenerates itself.
i unistalled zonealarm and went for sygate firewall witch tells you more info on what is trying to get in to your computer .after that i installed microsoft antispy software from microsoft witch detects any changes to your computer and eliminates it before it does damage .
it took two scans to get it all but i recommend you try doing this . :sponge
