Apparently, while visitning some website, a rogue toolbar installed itself
in IE6. Curiously enough, if you go the the View menu and choose toolbars,
there is a blank space where this toolbar resides, so I have no idea what
it's called. If you uncheck it, it disappears of course, but it is stilll
there in that blank space. It's a search toolbar, it brings you to a
"prosearch" search page, and has somehow disabled the normal IE search
function (clicking the "search" button displays a page cannot be found on
the left column).
Does anyone have any idea how to remove this thing? I've combed the registry
and nothing unusual pops out at me, and of course there is nothing in the
Control Panel Add/Remove programs.
Any ideas?

John, see my dialogue with Lance under post "FizzleWizzle".
