does anyone know how to remove an OBJCash toolbar?

I've already tried spysweeper, spybot, or adaware I ran them all and they can't get rid of my spyware. I'm going bonkers here, HELP!

The best thing I've found for removing toolbars and other BHO's is called HijackThis. Check out http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/

After you run the scan you can delete any toolbar. However a lot of them also use a program that runs to restore the toolbar if you dump it so you might have to reboot in safe mode and then use hijackthis to remove the toolbar's "helper" to get the fix to stick. Adaware is total garbage for most of the newer and more hostile stuff that's out there and the other Spybot type progs aren't much better.

Yeah that didn't work for me either :bonk:

I figured out what the problem was though, it was an MSN Extension software, so I simple removed it and it got rid of it.
