Toolbar

[CC]

Ive 'magically' acquired a new unwanted toolbar
named 'shtrjdrygr' and no matter how many times I uncheck
it and lock the toolbars it still manages to reappear
unchecked ... anyone have any ideas how I can get rid of
it?! Its more than just a little annoying it comes up
with 'useful' things to search for that are VERY vaguely
connected with the page you're on. Unfortunately ADULT
CHAT seems to feature greatly in this choice and with two
early teens in the house I dont really wanting them
thinking that thats an option they can choose.

Also, go check in your add remove programs, to make sure
there is not junk in there that might be associated with
it.
