Did you try the remove programs feature(control panel>add or remove programs) and use a anti spyware scanner etc.?

Got rid of the nasty ass toolbar I installed when I acadently said yes to downloading Weatherbug from something I needed.

that doesn't work since it's more like a virus that installs itself in other areas of the computer and can recover itself over time.

But my friend try it and it seems it's gone for now. But I would like to know if there any good free programs out there that get rid of unwanted toolbars.

Don't be scared by "Microsoft" and "Beta" in the same sentence; it's actually pretty good.

It'll download and run several anti-spyware programs.
