Red, have you tried seeing if the program is listed in Add/Remove Programs in your Control Panel. Also if you can try to locate where the program is located, it may be hidden amounst your system files, but it might be just sitting there in Program Files, try and find it and see if there is an unistall option.
Manual removal
Please follow the instructions below if you would like to remove My Search Bar manually. Please notice that you must follow the instructions very carefully and delete everything that is mentioned. In most cases the removal will fail if one single item is not deleted. If My Search Bar remains on your system after stepping through the removal instructions, please double-check by stepping through them again.
1. Start the registry editor. This is done by clicking Start then Run. (The Run dialog will appear.) Type regedit and click OK. (The registry editor will open.)
