Angry Fire need help to get rid of this thing

I'm having trouble getting rid of a toolbar that downloaded itself on my computer. It's called begintosearch toolbar. I can't find it anywhere to delete it. My problem is it keeps highlighting key words all over my internet pages. For instance every time the word "game" is on a web page it will highlight orange and it will be a link to party poker. It's really making me mad. I tried to disable it but the stupid highlights keep showing up. Can somebody please help me?

not a cut on you Ammo... but it seems to me that when people ask a question... and then figure it out... that they should at least share the fix... granted sometimes its just a case of common sense or a simple fix...
but if YOU can make a mistake or have a problem... then so can someone else... and when people do searches and find your thread with the same question they have and no reply stating how you fixed it... its a little frustrating...
so if you can come back to say you got it... you should also give a quick "how-to" along with it...

sorry about that. I just went to their website at begin2search.com and they had an uninstall toolbar link at the very bottom.

LOL... I would be VERY wary of that... at the minimum I would run AdawareSE and RegscrubXP to clean up what Im SURE it left behind...
