Last week, Symantec reported C:\Program Files\Hotbar\Bin\4.6.1.0\HbSrv.exe as Adware.Hotbar

From the Symantec system console, I was not able to delete it. I Looked for the file manually and discovered that there was an entire Hotbar directory. I deleted the directory. The User’s registry tree also had Hotbar listed in the Software key. I removed that as well.

This week, it popped up again but differently.

Symantec reported C:\WINNT\System32\sirzijwj.exe as Adware.Hotbar

Once again from the Symantec system console, I was not able to delete it.

I ran a TH full scan on it in safe mode and it came up empty. I removed the file from the user’s computer, removed the .exe extension and sent it to submit at trojanhunter.com.

Anyone have any info on this adware?

Here's what Symantec says about it. NOTE that there is also a special removal tool provided by Symantec.
