This is a really pervasive 'virus'. I can't get rid of the MSN Toolbar.

Has anyone come up with a method of blowing this thing away? Regular removal techniques are not working.

Thanks.
 
A quick search on Google for "removing msn toolbar" shows many results, the first of which says:

"Click the "MSN" button on the toolbar, then choose "Uninstall".

Did you try that method?

Hope this helps,

if that doesn't work download if you don't already have it the "hijack this" program and get rid of it
 
The easiest way, is get the latest version which has the uninstaller.
Upgrade
Uninstall from Add/Remove programmes
Run Microsoft Anti spyware and selete entries


Reboot and run a Registry Cleaner

Finally remove all referenced Folders and clear Pre-fetch
 
Sorry but I don't understand, the latest version of what?
 
The latest version of the toolbar, early versions there was no uninstaler
