Mirar, also known as Getmirar, is an Internet Explorer toolbar that displays advertisements based on the URLs and has been reported to stealth install. It has the ability to hide, and then re-emerge, making removal very difficult. Once executed, Mirar drops files into several system directories and modifies the registry in order to register itself as a browser add-on. The program may also install adware SaveNow on your system

Answer 3

See if it's listed in Add/Remove Progams. If it is... uninstall it. You can download a free adware removal tool called Ad-aware at:
http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-Personal-Edition/3000-8022_4-10045910.html?part=dl-ad-aware&subj=dl&tag=top5

It does remove this toolbar.
