Use Regedit.exe and remove the item. It should be under here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions

Hi,
Toolbar Cop from http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/ should be able to remove
these.

You should also suspect the presence of other unwanted files or programs and
run (at least) these two programs:
Ad-aware from http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/
Spybot from http://security.kolla.de/
Both should be updated before use.
