Mirar WebBand "toolbar"

[Patrick]

I noticed a new "toolbar" in my IE 6 browser after I had
recently surfed and when I went to remove it through
deselection, I was not allowed to do so under the view
options for tool bars. I right clicked on it and a window
popped up appropriately titled "Toolbars Removal Helper"
it removes every other toolbar except itself of course. I
have uninstalled IE and reinstalled after running Norton,
Ad-Aware & Spy-ware utilities, but to no avail. Any
adviced would be greatly appreciated.

Patrick,

First option is to *Update* and run Ad-Aware scan (www.lavasoftusa.com). If
the toolbar entries are not removed:

ToolbarCop:

Patrick,
According to their installer, Mirar should be listed in Add Remove?
