How do I get rid of this stupid toolbar that just happened to install itself onto my computer.

Thanks!

You will most likely need to download and install a spyware/adware cleaning program such as Spy Sweeper or Spybot or Lavasoft's Ad-aware or some other one. Let is scan your PC and clean up any spyware/adware programs you may have installed on it. There will probably be a lot more than just the Begin2Search tool bar.

I would recommend Spybot, from what i read its a hijack and i find spiebot the best at removing them but also run adaware.

I found a great program callled spyware blaster i would highly recommend you download it and install. it block such thinks from getting on your comp in the first place.

Hijack This!! It's a registry editor. Basically it will allow the computer to ignore any startup entries you don't want. All you have to do is hit the scan button and it will show you a list of all BHO's, or programs for your internet browser, and you can check off the ones you want to get rid of and your computer will disregard them forever. It is quite a nice tool. Don't get overzealous with it though. There are some tools that your programs will put in that will show up on the list so read everything carefully before "fixing" it.

And it's free, just do a google.

Here is a pretty complete, to say the least, post on how to clean up your computer.
