Do you know how I can get rid of Mirar toolbar?

Question

This toolbar downloaded to my laptop (dont know how) and now I dont know how to get rid of it. It is even interupting my Internet Explorer. I am now unable to get onto the internet. Thank you in advance.

Mirar has affected my Internet Browser so I am unable to go onto the internet to download Spybot, firewall, etc.... Is there any other way I can go onto the internet so I can get rid of Mirar? Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Alright, your best bet is to run some spyware programs. I would reccomend Hitman. It runs a bunch of different programs and TOTALLY cleans your system. Second of all, your using a spyware prone internet browser. Try out Firefox, imho its the best browser to date. Opera isnt bad either.

all free :).

This is going to be one of those nasty programs to get rid of.

After you remove this toolbar, seriously think about trying Firefox.
Firefox will not interfere with IE in any way. Firefox is a new way to view the internet, and much safer to use. It has it's own internal popup blocker (which you can turn off if you want to), not to mention all of the various skins you can install to make it look more attractive. Not to mention the ability to created tabbed windows, oh you'll never use IE again, which is a good thing.

I too had many problems with adware been infected on my computer thanks to IE. There is NO reason why I should keep using IE after that. Web authors used loopholes in IE's software to force this adware upon your computer without your approval. Why would anyone use IE again?
