If you use the search option you will find instructions on how to remove the begin2search toolbar.

Or get Firefox, which as yet cannot be hijacked, and is less likely to suffer from them

www.getfirefox.com

Here is a copy of the log after I ran adaware & spybot in safe mode. I do not think it helped. Adaware found 19 problems so I ran it until no problems were found. spybot only found dso problem but I think it always finds that one.

[i_need_answers]

its not hard to remove

I downloaded something and begin2search came with it and it had a toolbar that wouldn't go away and all I did to remove it was go to control panel and then do add remove programs and it should be listed all I did was remove it and it went away but if it hacked your broser then this might not work.
