My kids downloaded something, which installed the Yahoo toolbar. I have tried every trick I can think of, and all I can do is get the bar to not show itself. There still is a Yahoo! menu, and I think it might be interfering with other web sites, but I'm not completely sure... Anyways, I want to get it off completely. What do I need to do?

I have tried:

Removing it from Add-ons (Didn't show up).
Removing it via the bar itself (No pencil menu showing up)
Removing via add/remove programs (Again, nothing showing up)
Massive google searching (I can't seem to find anything)

Any other ideas? Thanks!
