There is a d/l on the hotbar site for removal. There's
no way in hell I should use their own removal
tool...right? Saying this, who's got the best free
ad/spy ware removal d/l? I'm about ready to put up
hotbar's CEO's butt... SOB's

Thanks!
 
I would run AdAware V6, Spyblaster, and Spybot v1.2 on
that workstation. Also run through the registry and
delete any and all hotbar keys. All programs are free.
Make sure you update them all prior to running them.
 
First option is to run Ad-Aware scan (www.lavasoftusa.com). If the toolbar
entries are not removed still,

ToolbarCop:
http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/utils/ToolbarCop.exe

Manual Procedure:
Start Registry Editor (Regedit.exe)
Go to the following location and check each GUID sub-key. One of which is
the malware toolbar entry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions

Also, check here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions
{check the values in the right-pane to identify the malware toolbar.)

Spot the entry and delete the appropriate key (backup the registry first)
