have you tried Webroots "Spy Sweeper", thats a "spy killer" program that has always kept my PC clean.
also, if you keep getting loads of these, try raising your internet security in, TOOLS, INTERNET OPTIONS, SECURITY, CUSTOM LEVEL - and raise the custom settings. this may stop programs installing themself. also if you have a firewall, get a new one! Its not working.

go to c, windows, application data and you may find them (i found one there once). if not go to search, and put toolbar and maybe it appears and you can see where it hides and delete it. also go to internet options and remove cookies and internet temporal documents. that might help well and definitely run your spysweeper once in a while

ive found that by using a program called dietkazaa can delete the search bars. Even if you dont have kazaa it will delete the bars.

ctrl+alt+del, then go to processes and end the process... search for whatever the process is called in google, someone will have made a removal tool at some stage.....or i imagine spyware sweeper would also remove it...

if you are still having problems start your computer on safe mode go into search type the name of the toolbar and delete all the files then restart it and it should fix your problem

download microsoft antispyware tools.. scan your whole system, and get rid of all the spyware that you have.. or, if you don't want to get rid of it (who wouldnt want to..) you can just tell microsoft AntiSpyware to set IE (I'm assuming you're using Internet Explorer) back to its original settings. here's a link: www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspxand a quick tip to all of you.. read before you install something.. and read during the instalation.. most programs actually ask you if you want their "add ons" installed... for example MSN plus.
