Menu Bar under IE address grrrrrrrr

Somehow one of those pop up sites added a menu bar under my IE address bar. I can hide it by turning off accessories by right clicking on it. But I want to get rid of it. It added a task bar icon on the bottom right and i got rid of that. I have ran a spybot program and got rid of all of those. I deleted my temporary internet files. I did not delete all of my cookies as there are some that i want. I ran Ie repair tool.

Any ideas where it inserted itself???

GOD THAT STUFF IS ANNOYING!!!

thanks zinco

Hi Zinco
Do you know the name of it?
Perhaps give Ad-aware a try?

Hi again Daisy,
Not sure if you got my thank you from the last time, but thank you. I ran Spy Bot which is the same thing as Adware. It seems it wrote itself right into IE somehow. I reinstalled IE over itself but that did'nt do any good. I deleted all my cookies and temp inter net files to no avail. If I right click on the menu an accessories option comes up......never seen that before. below is a screen shot of it. It links to lop.com

you know what it actually is in Explorer!!!! I can bring it up locally using Explorer, like in any window. What a nasty little bot. It somehow installed inself in the same place as norton antivirus did. In other words i can bring up a norton short cut under the address bar in either IE or Explorer. Its like a tool bar really.
