Dear all,

I had the same problem (am using xp Home though) after installing/upgrading
to the latest version of Yahoo Toolbar - not Google, which caused the same
problem for many earlier this year and last. Read every thread on this issue
- boy did that take some time! Also found that (at
http://inetexplorer.mvps.org/index.html) Yahoo Toolbar contains Spyware
issues, but that it does not explicitly notify the user about its privacy
issues (apart from the small print in the EULA agreement - and who reads the
whole of those - I don't, and I am a lawyer!!) - unlike other software
companies, such as Google with its dialogue boxes which pop up when a privacy
issue arises.

Anyway, after trying everything that I was able to, as an above average
user, a very deep scan using Zone Alarm Security Suite found that I had the
Ardamax Kelogger malware. After removing this, the problem was solved.

I cannot say for sure that Yahoo Toolbar was responsible, but I can only
assume that it had something to do with the problem in some way or form as
the only thing different that I did was to install their Toolbar. I recommend
that you exercise caution when installing the Yahoo Toolbar, as perhaps there
are some bugs which allow for a security issue to be taken advantage of by
3rd parties. You need to do your own reasearch on this.

Hope that helps you all.

Regards,

Seamus.
