I simply went to search, found the azesearch items, deleted two of them, and the one I couldn't delete, I renamed it and deleted it -- It worked

[Adrian Barone]

Lukas 1604: Well, thank you por your help, afortunatedly the azesearch bar dissapeared. But It was before I read your message, misteriously, or perhaps because the anti-spyware I run. The fact is that now I have a new trouble, is the [bleep] "trojan-spy.html.smitfraud.c" which, as you have to know, puts your screen with a security warning. Can you help me with this? Nevertheless, I thank you a lot for your attention. Adrian
