C2 Lop Toolbar

Back in July, my XP Home Edition system got hit by C2 Lop
hijackware.

I've managed to rid my system of everything but the
toolbar which has been added to my desktop. I'm looking
for suggestions to rid myself of this.

Please note:
1.The version of the hijackware that hit me DID NOT place
an icon in my systray or appear in Add/Remove. I got the
really insidious version.

2. By using SpyBot S&D and eliminating all Windows
Registry keys which matched a random string the
hijackware had added to my "Tools" in IE, I've managed to
eliminate everything but the toolbar, which appears on
every startup.

3. I've tried every piece of advice about this I've found
on the internet (doxdesk.com, drivingwithdawn.com, etc.)
EXCEPT downloading an uninstaller from C2. I REFUSE to do
this (A. SCREW them, B. I'm supposed to trust these
guys?).

Any advice?

P.S. I'm not a computer expert. I would really need step,
by step, by step, by step instructions. Believe me, it
was scary enough screwing with the registry (which I
didn't even know existed before this).

Make sure you use the "Webupdate" feature before you scan
because they update ref files frequently (sometimes more
than once a day). I would suggest you post your logfile
on their forums and explain your problem.

can advise you what to do.

Make a scan with HijackThis
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=3155
and delete the entry for the toolbar.
