Hello everybody,
As this message has been moved, I slightly edited it to make it comprehensible.
I just discovered this website, as I experienced exactly the same issue as Leluc. Amazing input by all of you!
As you probably see, I am on the side of those who need some help. I suffered from the same toolbar disappearences as Leluc: basically, when I did certain things, the toolbar would shortly disappear, and certain programmes would close. Thus, I suspected a spyware/worm or something. However, it was impossible to run CCleaner and HijackThis. In fact, it was'nt even possible to do a google search with "CCleaner" or "HJT" mentioned in it (the toolbar would shortly disappear, while IE would completely go away)... Thus, I borrowed another computer and looked for solutions. And here I am.
AndyManchesta: I followed your instructions (here). I did a scan with HJT (now it works again after I used LinkOptFix), and tried to look for what www.hijackthis.de would say. They didn't really find something bad (except one or two items, that I removed), so I am wondering whether I really destroyed the trojan. Should I continue to worry (or better: stop to worry)? For good measure, I attach the result of the LinkOptCheck and of HJT.
Thanks in advance!
Mic
