Hi,
Recently this strange toolbar has been appearing on my internet explorer. The Strange this is that it screwed up the names of my current tool bars. For example, if i want to activate the Radio Tool Bar, i now have to go View/Toolbars/yzesbuick while the Radio tool bar activates other tool bars.
This strange tool bar is merely a search engine tool and whenever i launch IE it changes the homepage to some different one.
How can i get rid of it?

Sounds like you got a piece of spyware/adware installed.

Check out AdAware :
www.lavasoftusa.com
or
SpyBot:
security.kolla.de

Eaitehr one should remove it and set you straight.

He could have something else and not xupiter. There are several hijackers that put unwanted toolbars. Xupiter is a nasty one though.

Spybot or AdAware should remove it. Be sure to download the updates for which ever one you use before running it.

Post back with your results.
