Hi,
This is probably a Browser Helper Object (BHO). To start, we'll disable all
Browser Helper Objects (which can manifest themselves as unwanted bars).
To do this, click on 'Tools', 'Internet Options'. Click on the Advanced
Tab, and then, under the heading of 'Browsing', uncheck the box titled, 'Enable
third-party browser extension's. Click on OK. You may have to restart your
browser and/or computer.
Once disabled, you can remove them through a program called 'BHOCop'.
Download this program from:
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,4149,270,00.asp
Unzip the program, and install it. Once installed, run it, and you will be
presented with a list of all objects found. You should then be able to remove
them as desired.
Once you have removed all undesired bars, you may wish you re-enable third
party extensions so that legitimate programs (such as the Google Bar), can run.
To enable these extentions, follow the same steps as mentioned above.
Now, you may also have other spyware installed. You should download AdAware
from:

Once you have downloaded AdAware, be sure to update it prior to running it.
Once updated, it provides excellent protection against spyware threats or adware
programs.
You may also wish to read the following article as it describes what you are
dealing with, and how to better attack the situation.
