To the OP I would also read everything you download and check your settings for downloads....sounds to me like you are getting a lot of junk you do not need.

If you already removed the said above toolbar, probably there is nothing more to be removed. Malware antibytes is pretty effective even in the basic free version.
Sometimes, I can manage to spot and forcely remove adwares and malware with Spybot. The latest version is great.

If you haven't removed that malware yet, I suggest you to search in Windows registry and find the reg entry related to that malware. Are you familiar with the registry?

No, I'm not very familiar with registry. I do have a program called FixCleaner that "cleans system registry"(as said in the desciption in FixCleaner). I did pay for that program, so hopefully it is doing its job well.

Yeah, I've had his computer for a long time and I have a ton of extra junk that just piles up after time. I was thinking of doing a full system wipe and just redownloading only the games I currently play, but I've actually never wiped a computer before so I'm kinda hesitant.

No it's not useful I think in this case.

Ok, you can open Windows registry clicking on Start and writing in the box "regedit". External programs entries go in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SOFTWARE and there you should search for an entry you wish to remove\edit. In your case, it's the toolbar (Yahoo, Media Bar, Hutch... whatever). Then simply righ click>delete. Reboot.

This normally works for all non-too-malicious virus\malwares, the same you should be able to remove with Spybot, Malware Antibytes or any antivirus. And of course it works for any software you wish to unistall completely.
