Bizarre toollbar just replaced my Google Toolbar...
 
I never use IE and I decided to to check a design out over cross browsers. I notived that my Google Toolbar had been replaced with something I don't recognize. The toolbar has a "remove toolbar" link, but it takes me to a page selling apyware removers. The "Uninstall Toolbar" link takes me here:
http://burningsearch.com/uninstall/

Does anybody have an idea what this toolbar is? It's popping up all kinds of dumb shit.

It has colored buttons on the toolbar with the headers:
Gambling
Internet
Pharmacy
Finance
Insurance
Adult

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I see a webpage associating it with coolwebsearch so CWshreader should take care of it.

Sounds like you picked up something for sure..what removal programs do you use?

There should be a law that any advertising program that installs to your browser should have a clearly labeled remove button that actually does a 100% uninstall :feels-hot
