For some reason, I hadn't been thinking of this tool bar as being in the
category of an application that would show up on the Add/Remove programs
list. But you guessed right, and it was there, and I removed it after a bit
of going around in circles with the tab and arrow keys. Now I'll explore
the procedure for setting up the pop-up blocker that comes with IE6, and see
if that provides the pop-up protection I need without crippling my access to
some things, as the Google version seemed to be doing.
Thanks a lot.

I've never used it, but is it listed under add/remove programs?
