Has anyone encountered this virus/trojan? My daughter had the toolbar as
well as internet site redirection. We were able to kill it, but I still
don't see any mention of it on Symantec or McAfee. Any additional input
would be appreciated.

When all else fails, run HijackThis and post your log in one of the
specialty forums listed at the first link above (not here, please).
Standard caveat: If the procedures look too complex - and there is no
shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a
professional computer repair shop (not your local version of
BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). Please be aware that not all local shops
are skilled at removing malware and even if they are, your computer may
be so infested that Windows will need to be clean-installed. Have all
your data backed up before you take the machine into a shop.
