Hi ,
Which toolbar is it ?
have you tried Ad-Aware..........because most of these tool bars are considered Adwares. ?
[edit]
No i think i am slow :).............sorry so it is My search Tool bar ?Quote:
I AM FROM CANADA.....AND THEY THINK I AM SLOW EH
AD-Aware should get rid of it .
--Good Luck--
This should do the trick

I think the my search toolbar comes with kazaa.. I know i got it after installing kazaa ..
Kazaa installs a **** load of spyware. I guessed that it had something to do with the kazaa GUI.
Mind you I could be wrong as I never looked into it or anything. :)
Try this:
1. Download AdAware SE and SpyBot S&D, update them and run them in safe mode.
2. Go to the Trend Micro website (PC-Cillin) and run the "Housecall" online scanner.
That should solve your problem and get rid of anything else you have picked up .
In my experience these things rarely come in ones ;)
I hope that you have a firewall and AV that you keep up to date as well?
Good luck
If I'm not mistaken, the mysearch bar has a simple uninstaller in the add/ remove program section of your control panel.
If I were you, I would also scan your box with the tools nihil suggested.
I already said i couldn't find it in add/remove programs. and yes i do have a firewall and AV.Quote:

I have also used Spybot S&D and Ad-Aware but they dont seem to find it. Also there is this other pop-up and toolbar at the bottom of the screen the appears sometimes. It hasnt come up lately so i cant show you a print screen. I tried that "Housecall" thing but that would take way to much time.
Let me see.....Quote:

Hi,
01001101 --> have you updated the AD-Aware and Spybot Updated? make sure you Update them before scanning.
The latest Verson of AD-Aware is AAW SE 1.05,
Select "Perform Full System Scan" and press "Next".
Try this in Safe mode also
I am sure it detects MySearch Toolbar.
and give this a try http://www.2-spyware.com/remove-my-s...installer.html
--Good Luck-- :smokes:
