It got really annoying that some unwanted toolbar added to Internet Explorer that can never be uninstalled. How to remove such kind of plug-ins and how can we know if it is a trojan or not ?

Also, as I have said and I know Joseph has condoned, download adaware... from lavasoftusa.com for free. Install it, update it, run it. This also has a good chance of finding those malicious links embedded into your registry and system.
