Blue Search Bar!

Hey everyone,
I'm new to this board, I stumbled across it while perusing for instructions on how to remove that infamous blue search bar. I was wondering if anyone could give me instructions on how to remove it I would be FOREVER grateful. How the heck did this thing start showing up on people's CPU's anyways? It's very annoying.
btw- is HiJackThis the only way to remove it?

Here is my HJT log:
