O.P. What ad-aware says about the lop toolbar!
This is part of the toolbar from the lop plus! sponsor :

Vendor:istbar
Category:Malware
Object Type:RegValue
Size:16 Bytes
Location:...\software\microsoft\internet explorer\toolbar\webbrowser "{5F1ABCDB-A875-46C1-8345-B72A4567E486}"
Last Activity:23-11-2004
Risk Level:Low
TAC index:6
Comment:"{5F1ABCDB-A875-46C1-8345-B72A4567E486}"
Description:Browser Hijacker. Opens pop up ads. Auto updates. Installs other items without notice.

Is this true : Installs other items without notice? I don't think it is but still .... :dodgy:.

Other than that on other occasions Ad-Aware SE states that the toolbar is Hijacking the browser.

RE: What ad-aware says about the lop toolbar!
Im totally angry bout this. I just installed Msgr Plus yesterday and there are many things that are not supposed to be installed appeared. I had an extra toolbar and a few "casino,travel" etc things and it really made my internet lagging. Whats wrong with it? Is it a spyware or somethin that could harm my computer? What should I do now? I hope anyone who is experienced to help me settle this problem. Thanks alot. All helps will be highly appreciated.

fjoelim,

It appears you have installed the optional sponsor program. Please visit this thread and follow the instructions to remove it.
