Get a spyware removal system
SpyHunter is FREE and will remove MIRAR
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.
Because this type of spyware installs in several system directories, simply going to Add Remove Programs will not remove this unwanted program

some good answers here, and you should try things such as the link and a spyware remover (check out Spybot S&D. It's free and excellent).
But toolbars are IE addons. Click on tools in the IE menu. Click on Manage Add-ons. Find the tool bar in the list of add-on programs and disable it.

Check to see if it is in your Add/Remove Programs list in control panel. If notdo a search for "mirar removal" I am sure you will find lots of help

There are many different ways to go about removing a virus. I am first going to assume you're using Windows XP. One of the simplest is to go 'Start', select 'Help and Support', and under 'Pick a Task', select 'Undo changes to your computer with System Restore'. If your computer has this feature, you can easily select a date before you had the virus, and reload your computer to that setting.

click on start, go to control panel, then click "add or remove programs" select the program from the list. (the list may take a minute to populate.

This is a nasty bit of adware that is difficult to remove.
I would try downloading Super Anti-Spware (free) and running a full system scan.
