I had installed 2000 just a few hours before this new blue toolbar called hsslfriebrx keeps on appearing no matter what I do. I have tried to remove it by the right click, and it always re-appears. I am worried that it may have opened a backdoor or something, because have not installed anything to do with that name. I know its probably just some stupid little thing i have missed, but any ideas would be appreciated.
 
Curious, is the toolbar on the desktop or in Internet Explorer? My guess is that it is some sort of spyware that has loaded onto your PC. Try running free versions of Ad-aware, Spybot Search & Destroy, or Hijack This. Let us know if they remove it for you.
 
I used the Spybot Search And destroy and it fixed the problem. Turns out ad-aware couldnt delete because of it running as some sort of imposter other program. Thx a bunch.
