hi there,
recently my IE has this annoying toolbar called "browse creactive proc" and everytime i i open up my browser i get hijacked to "http://mysearchnow.com".... i've deleted the program linked to it but it seems to forever be there.

i've been search the net i found that "myserachnow" has been pissing off alot of ppl. Anyway i was that there would be someone who could help me get rid of "mysearchnow" and it's annoying toolbar from my com. I would be extremely grateful for any help provided.
