Hi. I'm using Firefox version 2.0.0.13. Around Sunday or Monday I foolishly downloaded some file from a site I can't remember the name of, which supposedly bundles Mozilla and Google Toolbar together. The file's name is FirefoxGoogleToolbarSetup.exe. Oh, the Google Toolbar version is 3.0.20070525W.

I already had Firefox installed, just not the toolbar. When it finished installing, I realized that the toolbar wasn't really worth having, so I tried uninstalling it, but it would only reappear as though it's just been newly installed whenever I restarted Firefox. I tried uninstalling from Firefox's add-ons window and from the toolbar itself. The toolbar program wasn't listed in the add/remove programs list in the control panel. I even tried uninstalling Firefox, only to find the toolbar there when I reinstalled it.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I really want to get rid of this thing. It just doesn't seem healthy.

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
