Have you tried uninstalling it from Add / Remove programs?

Also, I think
04 - HKCU\..\Run: [MessengerPlus3] "D:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! 3\MsgPlus.exe" /WinStart

might be part of the problem. I know when I installed that program it installed some serious spyware. If it's running it at every startup, it could be reinstalling the search bar.

Oh, it doesnt even show up on the control panel ADD/REMOVE... I wished it was that simple... I just deleted the WinStart thing, and the toolbar is still there unfortunally :cry:

any other suggestions???????? :-|

Actually I meant to uninstall the Messenger Plus! application. Then go through all your spyware removal tools once it's gone.

ok just did it... didnt help
