Annoying search thing.

[Lilcooldoode]

I've tried everything i can think of and cant fix this, hoping someone like UrbanFox can help me out...

When i installed Photoshop trial it installed a funny search tool with it... But after uninstalling Photoshop the search thing remains, now everytime i open an IE window this search tool comes up. Theres no installation thing for it so i cant uninstall it from the add/remove programs bit, i've looked in my registries. I've delete search folder in program files, which mucked up my windows search. Tried disabling third party website cookies. deleted all spyware stuff i can find and now im out of ideas.

heres what it looks like:

Have you tried right clicking on an open space in IE and unchecking it (this will also tell you what it is called which will help in the removal process). Post back what it's called. You could try some anti-spyware and see if it pops up

Have you tried rightclicking internet explorer itself, like right next to the help menu? What about something like adaware 6.0?

Standard Buttons (Checked)
Address Bar (Checked)
Links (Checked)
Lock The Toolbar
