Hi,
This bar is, more than likely, a third party browser extention that you
may have downloaded. Below, I will describe how to disable the bar, as well as
the necessary steps to disable it. I'll also direct you to a neat program which
can be used to rid yourself of similiar programs (called Adware / Spyware).
To disable the bar:
Open Internet Explorer. Click on 'Tools', 'Internet Options'. Click on the
Advanced Tab. Under the heading of 'Browsing', uncheck the box titled, 'Enable
third-party browser extension's. Click on OK. You may have to restart your
browser and/or computer.
After you have disabled the bar, you may opt to remove it using a program
called 'BHOCop'. This is a free program available from:
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,4149,270,00.asp
Unzip the program, and install it. Once installed, run it, and you will be
presented with a list of all objects found. You should then be able to remove
the object as desired.
After removing all such programs, you may wish to re-enable BHO's for
functionality. Some programs, such as google bar, require BHO's enabled. In the
event you wish to enable such plug-ins, simply check the box for third-party
extentions (in the same manner as you disabled them).
The fact that you have encountered such a program may indicate that you
have other such programs on your computer. To detect these programs, you may
wish to use a program such as AdAware, which, once installed and updated, is
capable of detecting and removing junk programs.
To download AdAware, please see the following link:

Remember: Once you download the program, you will need to update it so as to
ensure the latest protection. In addition, you may need to run the program
several times to remove all the debris.
Regards,
Altrus
