I accidentally installed (or not) MySearch Toolbar from third party software (FreeRIP). Upon installation, it was detected by AVG as spyware and terminated.

Now my Firefox browser has a bar that only display a binocular. This bar cannot be clicked or dragged. On the View->Toolbars menu, it identify itself as MySearch Bar.

I have checked on Control Panel->Remove Programs and also the extension of Firefox. Both don't list MySearch Bar as an installed program so I cannot removed it.

I know how to hide the bar, but I want to completely remove it. Any idea??
