security toolbar 7.1

This toolbar installed uninvited. How can I remove this tool bar and any
associated programs/threats? Thanks.

How does this relate to Windows Update, Po'Boy?

After the software is updated, it is suggested scanning the system in Safe
Mode.
How do you boot to Safe Mode?
By pressing/tabbing F8 (or F5 on some keyboards) during re-boot.
Alternatively:
click onto Start==>Run, type "msconfig" (without quotation marks), click
OK. Then click onto BOOT.INI tab and 'check' /SAFEBOOT then OK and click
Restart. To go back to Normal Mode, you must access the System
Configuration utility again and click the General tab then click/check the
radio button 'Normal Startup'- load all device drivers and services'.

To use this utility, perform the following...
Execute; Multi_AV.exe {Note: You must use the default folder C:\AV-CLS}
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close

Execute; C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT
{or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS}

NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to
go through your FireWall to allow it to download the needed AV vendor
related files.

C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT -- {or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS}
This will bring up the initial menu of choices and should be executed in
Normal Mode.
This way all the components can be downloaded from each AV vendor's web

The choices are; Sophos, Trend, McAfee, Kaspersky, Exit this menu and
Reboot the PC.

You can choose to go to each menu item and just download the needed files
or you can download the files and perform a scan in Normal Mode. Once you
have downloaded the files needed for each scanner you want to use, you
should reboot the PC into Safe Mode [F8 key during boot] and re-run the
menu again and choose which scanner you want to run in Safe
Mode. It is suggested to run the scanners in both Safe Mode and Normal
Mode.
When the menu is displayed hitting 'H' or 'h' will bring up a more
comprehensive PDF help file.

Restore Your System.

I run XP OS, and I got this Virus, or Ad-ware (whatever) this
afternoon.
After screwing with it for an hour, running Lava-soft anti-Adware, I
called my son and he suggested
going to Control Panel, switching to Catagory View (left tool-bar),
selecting Performance and Management in the Categories.
Then, again in the upper area of the left tool-bar, select Restore
System, click Restore my Computer to an earlier time button,
and then on the calendar that appears pick a day that was before you
got this virus.

I worked for me...I picked yesterday, 5/18, and after the system was
restored my Security Toolbar 7.1, and associated problems,
disappeared.
