Yesterday, Saturday, I downloaded a spell-check program suggested by Chris_.
It however never seemed to "take," and the computer started acting jerky at times, and so I "uninstalled it," following the directions for such a procedure.
However, when it was uninstalled, the tool-bar still stuck around at the top; I couldn't get rid of it excepting on a page-by-page basis (i.e., whenever opening a new Window).
The program's not there any more, but its tool-bar stubbornly remains.
How do I get rid of the damned thing? I'm sure it's creating all sorts of issues with this computer, issues this computer didn't have until I installed the program and then uninstalled it.

Is that ieSpell still listed under Add/Remove Programs on the Control Panel? I installed it on my computer and never got a taskbar (I did a custom install and turned it off).

The toolbar isn't Snap is it? I made the mistake of downloading a youtube downloader from a trusted site (download.com) and malware was installed on my computer including the Snap toolbar, finally got rid of it.

Uninstaller 2 (http://www.iobit.com/advanceduninstaller.html)
Removing unwanted apps has never been so easy!
IObit Uninstaller helps you uninstall and remove unwanted programs and folders from your computer fast and easily. Where the built-in and sluggish "Windows Add or Remove Programs" option fails, IObit Uninstaller works as always and picks up the slack. What's better, it is a free Uninstaller without installation.

I think that was it.

I think that was it.
Okay, it worked.
Thank you, Chris_!

Follow-up report; that must've been the source of the problem.
conservativecave isn't jerky any more, I can get into my Juno e-mail "in box," Drudge comes up the way it's supposed to.
That's not the way it was an hour ago.
Apparently when I "uninstalled," I didn't uninstall all that should've been uninstalled (I uninstalled only one thing, and apparently three things shoud've been).
