Description:
jZip.Toolbar gets installed in background without user consent during the installation of jZip, a 7Zip clone. jZip is supposed to be adware free. jZip.Toolbar displays advertising and adds itself to the Internet Explorer, Firefox and Opera. It also changes the start page and runs a so called Datamanager in background. This Datamanager is only associated with the toolbar and not with the jZip packer/unpacker.
Removal Instructions:

Please use Spybot-S&D (http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=spybotsd), RunAlyzer (http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=runalyzer) or msconfig.exe to remove the following autorun entries.
Entries named "DATAMNGR" and pointing to "<$PROGRAMFILES>\WINDOW*\Datamngr\DATAMN*.EXE".
Installed Software List:
You can try to uninstall products with the names listed below; for items identified by other properties or to avoid malware getting active again on uninstallation, use Spybot-S&D (http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=spybotsd) or RunAlyzer (http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=runalyzer) to locate and get rid of these entries.
