Can't get rid of this...Please help!

Hi,
Somehow I now have a IE Plugin Desktop Toolbar (a
separate websearch toolbar) that keeps coming up everytime
I reboot. I tried right clicking the exit and disable but
it keeps coming back.It also has a icon in my desktop tray
at bottom. I ran my spybot and adware-nothing. Any help in
removing this would be greatly appreciated-thanks!

It would be useful to know the name of the toolbar or websearch
function. Without knowing that, I have only general ideas to offer.

First, try updating ad-aware and running it again. This could be
something that is new enough to dodge an older version.

If you *cannot* access Websites that have to do with computer security
(and thus, cannot upgrade ad-aware), change the name of your hosts
file to something like 'oldhosts'. Use Windows Explorer to find hosts
(that's the name, 'hosts'). Rename it, which will inactivate it if
it's being used to redirect your computer. Then go update ad-aware.

Good luck.
