t rasa

I just picked up a toolbar that appears in the place of my status bar which I have toggled off. It has a red circled white star, a search box and what looks like some stock ticker numbers and what looks like a weather icon. Cloud with rain.

I haven't a clue where I picked this garbage up and I'm afraid to play with it. I can't find any uninstall info in my system, Win HP 64-bit. No response to right click. The text is Cyrillic and the "looks like weather icon is a live link.

Does anyone have any info on this intruder? I have never even been to a Russian site that I know of. I really want to shove this thing up Ivan's nose.

Since it appeared I haven't been able to get to my home pages in MSN or Yahoo. I can get to the net using my igoogle.

Thanks for any help in this matter.
