    If you search google with your toolbar's name plus remove (ex: "sweetim toolbar remove") you'll most likely find the solution to your problem.

    You can install the latest version of Spybot S&D and run it. Other software you can try is the free version of AdAware.

    But some toolbars and spyware can't be easily removed, requiring you to do some manual work. What's the name of the toolbar you installed?

      Also try malwarebytes, it does a great job of getting rid of crap.

            2nd vote for combofix, ComboFix | freeware. i have used it several times with good success. be sure to start windows in "safe mode with network support" and be connected to the internet
