I downloaded a jpg to pdf converter on CNet thinking that website was safe and now I have 'connect toolbar' plus other 'remove virus from your computer' programs popping up. Can you please help? thanks!

Hello and welcome to GeekPolice.Net My name is Dave. I will be helping you out with your particular problem on your computer.  

1. I will be working on your Malware issues. This may or may not solve other issues you have with your machine.
2. The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for this issue on this machine.
3. If you don't know or understand something, please don't hesitate to ask.
4. Please DO NOT run any other tools or scans while I am helping you.
5. It is important that you reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.
6. Your security programs may give warnings for some of the tools I will ask you to use. Be assured, any links I give are safe.
7. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.

If you can't access the internet with your infected computer you will have to download and transfer any programs to the computer you're using now and transfer them to the infected computer with a CD-RW or a USB storage device. I prefer a CD because a storage device can get infected. If you use a storage device hold the shift key down while inserting the USB storage device for about 10 secs. You will also have to transfer the logs you receive back to the good computer using the same method until we can get the computer back on-line.

Superdave, thanks for the prompt response. I don't see a 'delete' button on the 'AdwareCleaner'. I see an 'uninstall' button

It would appear that you have two Av's on your computer; McAfee VirusScan Enterprise
and Microsoft Security Essentials Please make sure that only one AV is activated on your computer otherwise they will cause conflicts.
You really should update your Internet Explorer.
Is the toolbar gone yet?
