Hum... well I had a similar problem with my sister. She used to put these stupid toolbars or searchbars that would bug me. Well, I found two solutions. One is temporary the other was permantent. One, was when you right click the whole bar, the menu comes up. This displays all the things you are running on your Internet Explorer. Look for the one that says (BLANK search bar, or toolbar.) then uncheck it.
The second solution is that you remove the program. So, go to add/remove programs in control panel. Then look for the toolbar name and have it removed. That should solve the problem.
Hope I was of some help... Huffed.
