How can I delete a tool bar from "Worldanywhere.com" that somehow just
showed up on my MS Internet Explorer version 6?

Download and run this tool:

Unzip the tool, close all instances of IE and OE, hit the executable
and hit scan. Follow the prompts.

Hi Jim,

Run Ad-Aware scan (www.lavasoftusa.com). If the toolbar entries are not
removed still,

ToolbarCop:
http://www.angelfire.com/dragon/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)
