Ok, im on my parents PC...

somehow, some piece of shit thing installed itself on the
computor... so now, when in explorer... there is this extra
bar that pops up.... called a "hot bar" and it has these
bright yellow buttons

its really annoying

i can make it go away by unselecting it... but everytime i
open explorer, or a new window... its back

its driving me nuts

how the hell do I get this thing off?

running, XP, Me?

If you go to "view" then look in both "toolbars" and
"explorer bars". These should both open up other menus. See
if there is a "Hot Bar" menu item in either of those two and
if there is, deselect it.

If you're lucky it will have an item in your program
install/remove control panel. Otherwise get spybot search &
destroy or adaware to get rid of it for good.

Almost certainly that is spyware, and you need to go get
adaware.

The free version works fine for me... TEH WIN!!!!

to keep it away
