Toolbar madness, please help!!!
I've somehow installed an annoying IE toolbar and I can't get rid of it 
The two attached images are screenshots, 1 is the bar alone the 2nd is the menu option name.
I've tried to simply click on the menu, the one highlighted, and it does disappear..but a few mins later something is triggered and back up it pops! 
Can anyone prod me into the right direction to get rid of this annoying toolbar please?

Apologies if I'm stating the obvious but have you tried running anti-spyware software? Failing that, have a look in Program Files for anything which could relate to it, and don't forget good old MSCONFIG

Have you installed the latest MSN Messenger?
I seem to think that my daughter got this problem after she installed latest MSN Messenger.
Try looking in task manager to see if anything strange is running, then do a Google search on it. Seemed to think that there is a solution but have forgotten what it is!

Is there anyway to remove it without formatting the pc? I have just got everything running nice and steady and I don't want to wipe the system, I'd rather live with it than format.

I've just tried adaware and it has not got rid of it. I updated it so it would pick out new things but nothing. Help.
