The toolbar is showing you the message to fool you into downloading some malicious spyware
(1) If you have not already scanned your comp with spybot do that now .Update it and then run it so it gets rid of all the spyware and trojans in safe mode
(2) Do an online virus scan to check if you still have any other viruses in your computer. And let us know if the online virus scan still finds any virus or spyware .
(3) Get you self a good antivirus or a free one if your present anti virus is not protecting you .
(4) Get a good firewall if you do not have one .IF you have mcafee or norton firewall you can ignore this step.

C'mon Cleo, it's probably a free toolbar that gets paid to advertise security products. So of course it's gonna say you're being invaded.
First, go into your add/remove from the control panel. Select your free browser add-ons (toolbars) 1 by 1 and uninstall them.
Second,
Do you have an active firewall up ?
Do you have up-to-date anti-virus software installed ?
Do you have Spybot Search & Destroy ?
Do you have Ad-Aware SE ?
Good Luck

Reintsall the OS and then install McAfee 2007 on your computer. The hacker will be totally gone and McAfee 2007 will make your IP be invisible on the Net.
That's the only solution.
P.S. Ask yopur ISP to change your IP for you, too.
Bye, bye.

Sounds like your toolbar is the problem. Get rid of it. It's malware.

Go to http://www.mbusbyuk.info/links.html and pick up the link for Panda ActiveScan under Free Online Virus Scanners.
Make sure you do a full system scan.
Panda is extremely good and will clean and disinfect your system
Good Luck!
