GKar,

The spywareremove is NOT FREE. IS the only way to remove the baidu bar with that? Malewarebytes did not find anything either.

are you using internet explorer 7? if so, go to tools and manage add-ons and enable or disable add-ons and look for it there. If you find it you should be able to select it and delete it.

I am using IE6. There is a way to remove, but it is still hidden in the computer and is showing up

Hello jyeh74;

Eset shows that virus in their database, so I assume this

http://www.eset.eu/eos/eset-online-scanner

will be effective. No guarantees of course.
It's free and easy to use. Give it a try.
This is most probably a self-replicating virus, so you need to first;
-download/update the Eset scanner/scan and quarantine anything detected as malware.
-Then-
-turn off system restore.
-Then-
-reboot into the safe mode.
-Then-
-run the Eset scanner again.

If the virus (or any other malware) is found, quarantine it.

-Then-
-reboot into the normal operating mode, turn system restore back on, run a third scan to assure that the virus did not replicate.

If your computer checks clean following the third scan, reboot again to normal mode.
System restore should have a new restore point and your computer should be clean.

If the Eset scanner fails to detect or remove the virus, try A-Squared free and use the deep scan mode following database update. Again, best results will be obtained scanning in safe mode with system restore disabled.

Good luck !

my vote goes to NOD32

whatever the 30 day demo is(3.0 is the latest ).just be sure to turn system restore off before you scan.

ESET NOD32 Antivirus 3.0 or ESET NOD32 Antivirus ??

This one: ESET NOD32 3.0 Antivirus for Win XP/2000/Vista (32-bit)

Please be sure to uninstall any other antivirus software, before you start the installation of NOD32.

Boot into safe mode and install it. Let it download an update.
Boot into safe mode again, start NOD32 and after that click on NOD32 button and click on "In-depth analysis". It should get you rid off of all malicious software you got on your machine.

You will have a fully functional NOD32 for a trial period of 30 days.
I recommend it and suggest that you consider to buy it after that period.
