I downloaded hotbar (for the weather on my desk top) and hated it. Ads pop up all the time. I went to add/remove programs and accidently removed hotbar from the list instead of deleting it. Is there a way I can find the program again to remove it? I tried a system restoration and it got rid of it but messed up some other stuff, so I had to undo the restoration, and hotbar is back. Any suggestions?

You can't really get rid of it. But i would start with finding a new hobby. And stop writing so much on the computer. Do physical activities with your friends. Set a goal for yourself to only stay on the computer for two hours then cut down every month. It could save you a few bucks on the electric bill!!! ;). Basically find something else to do, if you can't look at what movies are coming on, what events that sound kinda cool. Be out there instead of inside here.

Download Spybot Search and Destroy. It'll get rid of it (and a few other things you didn't know you had!)
