ok suddenly theres a problem. i just recently had to reinstall hotbar but then when i went to uninstall it, it wasn't in the Add or Remove Programs list. should i just reinstall over current copy real quick and see if that works to get it back in the list?

EDIT: i reinstalled it this morning but changed my mind and decided to uninstall since then

Have you got it cleared up then ?

I think Spybot and Ad-Aware will remove it.

Hi someone,
