I'm currently running Internet Explorer (don't laugh at me, and I'm NOT going to use any other browers so I don't care what you're view on I.E is... so shoosh up!).
Anyways, there's this toolbar that just started comming up (attached a picture below of it) recently, it's quite annoying since it keeps comming up even though I disable it. I can't find an uninstall for it, I can't find it at all on my computer and my AdAware hasn't detected it, neither has my Norton Anti-virus (Making sure it's not a virus of some sorts). Please help me.

That's what happens if you refuse to use something other than IE, so you're being silly really saying you want to stick with it and not deal with possible messy situations at the same time
Anyway, if Adaware/Spybot S&D fail to detect it after you've updated them, then you're stuck with searching through the registry with a bit of brains to see where that program has hooked itself into the system and extract filenames to delete in that manner
So I'm silly because I don't want to use other web browsers? I said specificaly not to say such things... who cares what the hell I use? I just wanted a clear cut answer, that's what the help forums are for anyways right?
I'll have a look through the registry.

Mine has the same thing, I just ignore it. it keeps coming back even after I deleted the files, it reattaches itself and I have to go through the same thing. *sigh*
IE rules! But yeah, I have that same thing too. It's called "iccyoofvfvk" or something like that.
I used some adware stuff or whatever to find it, but it still remains. I also did a search for iccyoofvfvk but no luck. The best thing to do is right click on the toolbar and unselect it, and after a few pages where it reappears and you have to disable it, it will disappear, until you next load up your computer
What is the point of asking for help if you already know the answer but refuse to listen to it? If your question is "I use IE and I refuse to use anything else, now make it good", the answer is "Suffer". Use Adaware to temporarily clean up the spyware, until you get it again, which you likely will. Pray that Adaware doesn't delete anything important and ruin IE / some other program you use. Spyware often comes as part of shareware/adware you download, but sometimes you can get it just by looking at certain websites; if you can figure out which program / website is infecting you and stop using it, that'll help you in the long run (unless you refuse to stop using those programs and websites too, in which case I don't know what to say). Meanwhile enjoy your popups and ad-banners and security holes.
Nero never came with any spyware. I don't know about other programs though. Diskjuggler doesn't have spyware either.
Personally, I use Nero 5.5.10.42, it does everything I need it to do, and it does it just dandy.
