ill rate 5's!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is what I'd do if I couldn't do as described in the links above, or it didn't work:
((Goto explorer and do a search for 'mirar'. Delete any files/folders you find titled that. Reboot your computer and run another search. If they're back, you'll need a more in-depth approach. Get Lavasoft Adaware: www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware . Run it. Go to [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
Free, really good. After they're done, check for the Mirar files again, and delete any you find. Reboot and see if the toolbar is around.))

Suspend it and click on properties and get the place where the file is. Delete it from there. Download and run Hijack This. While you're at it run spyware scans(I recommend Spybot and Ad-Aware). Remember that not every spyware scanner will find the same spyware. Same with virus scanners... you might want to run a virus scan or two aswell. Oh and one more tip... get a decent internet browser. I suggest Mozilla Firefox. You won't have this problem of thousands of spyware toolbars and the like.. and there are many other benefits. Oh yea, and go into your C-Drive from My Computer: go to Program Files and delete anything to do with this Mirar thing. And go to Common Files and delete anything to do with it.

Even if it won't show up, it's still on your computer! To get rid of it completely, go to the Control Panel and click on "Add or Remove Programs". This will show a list of all the programs on your computer. Find the toolbar on this list, it should be under "Mirar" and click on the button that says "Change Remove". This will uninstall the toolbar completely from your computer.
