Security Toolbar 7.1 is a Spyware program coming from a trojan called Trojan.Zlob. You may like to try and go to "Add and Remove Programs" in Control Panel. I also recommend downloading AVG Antivirus (http://www.download.com/3000-2239_4-10746390.html), Spybot Search and Destroy 1.5 (http://www.download.com/Spybot-Search-Destroy/3000-8022_4-10743107.html?tag=lst-0-1), McAfee Site Advisor (Firefox) (http://www.download.com/McAfee-SiteAdvisor-for-Firefox/3000-11745_4-10663377.html), and McAfee Site Advisor (Internet Explorer) (http://www.download.com/McAfee-SiteAdvisor-for-Internet-Explorer/3000-2144_4-10663376.html).

Using Internet Explorer, go to:

Symantec Security Check (http://security.symantec.com/sscv6/default.asp?langid=ie&venid=sym)

Click the GO button, then under Virus Detection, click Start. You might be told that you need to download and install ActiveX Controls for the scan to work, answer Yes.

Write down exactly anything it finds, then go to: http://www.symantec.com/search/ and do a search for what was found. Symantec usually has a removal tool and/or directions for removing manually. Make sure that you follow the instructions for removal, step by step, especially the part regarding disabling System Restore.

Hope this helps!
