Those tool bars are web based pop up blockers, which are pretty useless. What you have is on your computer and your protection is not good enough.
This is not a problem at all. Here's what you need to do.
1st, don't waste your time with AVG, spybot, ad aware, CA, spyhunter, superantispyware, avast, panda, kaspersky, spyware blaster, spyware guard, windows defender or anything of the sort. Stay away from anything that is FREE when it comes to spyware and antivirus. There is a reason why they free. They are NOT good.
2nd, You need some of the best software out there. Norton Systemworks is very good. That's the only good software from Norton. I wouldn't recommend Norton Internet security, its not that great. Now the best software you should get is Spysweeper with Anti-virus, this software is too good and gets better everyday. This is Elite software. It blocks over 433,000 definition threats, which contain several fringerprints with each(you can do the math). No other software can compete with that or come close for that matter. It catches everything and has active shields. I've used them all and it is 2nd to none.
3rd, after you install and update the software, since its in your system you will have to turn off system restore and then go into safe mode and run the scan and eliminate the virus. then after removal, reboot and turn system restore back on.
4th, (Optional) I recommend a Firewall from Zone Alarm, their free version is so good. Or you can buy their Pro version, but the free version will do more than the job.
5th, any probs during or after you do all this, send me an e-mail or IM. I guarenDAMNtee my answers and will help you in person from IM if needed.

Too many spyware in your computer. There are programs which will get rid of some but my advice is reinstall the windows again. Your pc will run like when you first bought it. You should have gotten a backup disk when you first bought it. Save everything to a disk which you want and just pop the backup or restore disk in, restart the computer, boot from disk and follow instructions.
Goodluck

You should scan your pc with anti-virus and anti spyware.
I can tell you that to protect your pc, you'd need at least three programs: an anti-virus, an anti spyware and a firewall. I've been using for quite a long time these programs: Kaspersky AV (www.kaspersky.com), True Sword (http://www.securitystronghold.com/download/site/ActiveShield4.exe) and Agnitum Outpost Firewall Pro (www.agnitum.com). These programs were recommended by my friend, who is a professional programmer, so now i have no problems with any kinds of viruses, spyware or adware
Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get a good virus & spyware protection with pop up blocker. McAfee works good.

Spyware infection
I'd reccomend these 2, run each in turn
ADAWARE fro www.lavasoftusa.com (Free personal version)
also SPYBOT S&D from www.spybot.org (Again free for home use)
Also worth having in toolbox is CCLEANER from www.ccleaner.com again a free download, and a good general windows tidyup utility.
