Ok, i have this annoying search bar in my taskbar. And I’ve run AdAware and Spybot search and destroy, and nothing got rid of it. I pressed the search button, and it came up as [BlazeFind.com](http://BlazeFind.com), but when I search for removal of BlazeFind on google, it comes up as an IE toolbar… when I have it as a Taskbar search bar! help please! see: ![](http://www.n3xtmedia.com/search.jpg) ---

I had something like that, where a search thing attached itself to my task bar and wouldn’t go away. I used ad-aware and spybot to scan and delete what they could, and then restarted and they zapped the rest of it before it loaded. Give that a shot.
