Hi,
I tried to load the Goolgle popup blocker in IE and at the same time the Isearch toolbar appeared.
I managed to deinstall the google toolbar but the isearch one is still there.
Any ideas how I get rid of it?
The machine is a PC running XP. Ive tried running adware, norton antivirus scan but its still there. Any ideas?

I would suggest you download HijackThis from here (http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/HijackThis.exe)
Do a search and delete any files you find.
Run the program and find the entry for isearch. Put a tick next to it and click fix checked. This should then remove it.
I would also recommend you read all information available
here (http://www.spywareinfo.com/articles/hijacked/)
I hope this helps.
Cheers

Another option:
Startup Control Panel from http://www.mlin.net
This is an EXCELLENT piece of software for getting rid of all the :mad: rubbish that some software installs and most types of virii, bugs, trojans and other rubbish.
