Hello everyone,
I got a new tool bar from somewhere, it's called My Search and I can not
find where to get rid of it.
I am running XP Pro with all updates. Thank you in advance.

I've never seen it myself, but this page sounds like what you are
talking about:

It claims that a simple uninstall will get rid of it, but I'd still
run a spyware/adware scanner to be sure it's not the only thing on
there. My Search comes bundled with file sharing programs, and if
you're running that kind of software it's a good bet you're infested
with other nasties. These days, spyware/adware scanners are just as
important as a firewall and virus scanner are. Fortunately, there are
some very good freeware ones available.

Get thee spybot search and destroy or Ad-aware, update and run them both
regularly, good protetection for most spyware/adware applications that sneak
on to your machine....
