One thing you should remember from now on into the future : Almost all toolbars you add to a browser have associated problems in that almost all of them contain some type of spyware.
There are, of course, a few toolbars that are OK to have. The good ones are usually, but not always, those included in the browser(s) when you download them. There are only a very few user added toolbars that can be classified as good.
