888 bar?

Was playing online bingo last night and got loads of pop ups as someone had turned the pop up blocker off. Turned it back on and discovered a new toolbar had been installed labeled 888bar. Tried to uninstall via the uninstall button but couldn't, tried in the add/remove programs and it appeared to uninstall. Switched the puter on this morning and its back but no longer shows in the add/remove programs section. There were also 4 new icons on the desktop, one labelled winstall which i can't remove. I've just ran a full system scan with norton and its found 69 adware threats but could only remove 67 and the toolbar is still there. Any ideas on how to remove this toolbar and can anyone recommend software to prevent this sort of thing happening again.
Thanks

You can remove the 888.bar from Add/Remove Programs (from Control Panel)."Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect." - Mark Twain0

Run your AV and spyware programs in safe mode, that should do it.
