OK this is newbyish but I don't know how to get rid of something and need help in doing so.
At the top of the webpage - any webpage - there are a couple of toolbars. One is from Yahoo - I'm not worried about that one (maybe because I don't know how to get rid of it?). Recently, another bar has shown up - *mirar* - and I don't have a clue on how to get rid of it! The Yahoo toolbar isn't an issue because it doesn't DO anything unless I type in something. The other...I don't want it, and haven't a clue how to get rid of it. Is it associated with IE? Or is this something that I can get rid of, and if so, HOW??
*Waits for someone to say "GEEZ this is easy!*

Well doing a search for *Mirar* netted 1 result - in the *downloaded programs* section. Is there a way to get rid of it when it's been *installed* like that? Doing a look at add/remove programs, mirar wasn't listed (although Yahoo toolbar was)...how to fix this?
Ad-aware doesn't seem to recognize this as spyware
EDIT: WOOOHOOOO!!! No More MIRAR!!! My problem was that I didn't have the latest version of Ad-aware - I had a previous version - and the new version felt that Mirar was spyware....thanx everyone!

Spybot Search & Destroy: http://www.spybot.info/en/index.html (I don't know if it will work on Mirar, but it's been mentioned in the thread)
Here is some info from Symantec on it (although the removal instructions are Symantec-specific).
