Oh grr I just ran SpyBot to get rid of it (it's called a "Browser Helper Object" and some of them can be quite malicious) and came back to this site and yep there it is again! Must be attached to one of the banner ads or something  I wonder if admin even know it's there?

Just googled it - seems to be attached to the website itself rather than a BHO, and not malicious. Still it's annoying

I have it too and emailed admin earlier to ask about it. Will be trying to remove it later when I have more time. It's only showing up when I'm logged in here, I have multiple tabs open in Firefox and it's nowhere else.
If it's attached to the website and it's there by intent , I really don't appreciate it.

Mine has disappeared now so not sure if it's been removed or if DH was able to get rid of it!

I just minimised it, but yeah, it's annoying. I don't know why but that Karicare YouTube add at the bottom annoys me as well.

rachndean we use Firefox and DH has Adblock Plus installed so we don't see any banner ads etc. He blocked the below address in the Adblock Plus preferences and voila, it's gone 
|http://cdn.wibiya.com/Graphics_Toolbar/*
ETA - The above is showing as a link, just being clear that this is just how the toolbar shows as the URL for the banner/toolbar that he has blocked. Hope that's not confusing!
