Can anyone tell me how to remove the 'HotBar' adware from
my internet explorer toobar? It's resided in the program
folder but I encounter access denied when trying to
delete it.

The microspft Antispy ware cannot remove it.

Thanks

Lavasoft's Ad-aware or SpyBot Search & Destroy will remove
all of Hotbar.
Ad-aware here: http://www.lavasftusa.com
SpyBot here: http://www.safer-networking.org
Install (both) as one usually catches what the other doesn't.
After installation, update both applications immediately as they
do not download with the latest updates.

I've had similar problems such as yourself. I would
restart your computer after reading this message then do
not connect to the internet and try to delete the item
from the explorer program file. It should let u access
it and delete it if none of the explorer program is
active. Then again it might not but this process has
worked for me in the past.
