I have read the rules, and also read the sticky that recommends running Spybot as Administrator. I have done this, and it's not working.
Curiously, Spybot used to remove it, but it would simply come back. Now I try to remove it and it gives me an error message saying it's in use and it can't destroy it. Either way, I want to get rid of this thing :( I've searched around, but it seems that no two solutions are the same, and some involve messing with the registry, which is something I am nervous about.
uTorrentBar Toolbar <-- Let me explain about File Sharing, the programs themselves are safe but what you may be downloading may not be, your downloading that file from an unknown source, not all but most contain malware of some sort, its like playing Russian Roulette Malwarewise. I would like you to go to Programs and Features in the Control Panel and uninstall it, if not I am just wasting my time because after we get you clean you will just be reinfecting yourself.
You have a lot of garbage on this system , unwanted toolbars and the like, lets do this
Please download AdwCleaner by Xplode and save to your Desktop.
Double click on AdwCleaner.exe to run the tool. Vista/Windows 7/8 users right-click and select Run As Administrator.
Click on the Scan button.
AdwCleaner will begin...be patient as the scan may take some time to complete.
After the scan has finished, click on the Report button...a logfile (AdwCleaner[R0].txt) will open in Notepad for review.
The contents of the log file may be confusing. Unless you see a program name that you know should not be removed, don't worry about it. If you see an entry you want to keep, let me know about it.
Copy and paste the contents of that logfile in your next reply.
A copy of all logfiles are saved in the C:\AdwCleaner folder which was created when running the tool.
Okay it's done, including uninstallation of utorrent. I don't really see anything in this list that I recognize as something I would need (incidentally, thanks for helping me get rid of this excess crap). Anyway, here are the results:
