The problem began a couple of days ago when (1) the
system response time slowed considerably (2) my IE home
page defaulted to the ISearch web site and (3) pop-up ads
started appearing. I hadn't seen a pop-up for quite some
time after installing the Google tool bar. I noticed
that there was a new tool bar called ISearch but, when I
went to the tool bar tab to get rid of it, all the
selections were grey and I couldn't toggle any of them on
or off. So I searched for, and found, all files
containing "ISearch", then deleted them.
When I re-booted, Windows locked up on me. I tried re-
installing and, after several unsuccessful attempts, I
finally succeeded. However, MS Office can not be
accessed. When I went to Control Panel to delete my MS
Office Standard, the system locked up. I was able to
cancel the application, but my MS Office does not work.
Is there some way to delete MS Office Standard without
losing my Outlook e-mails, calendar, contacts or tasks?
