Do you mean a type of malware like this:

OR do you mean some type of behavior in your browser like showing "my most frequent websites" when opening a new tab?

I am using Google Chrome. And the toolbar is just the one mentioned here http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/487215/de...
After doing some searching it turned out that it is a common browser hijacker.
I followed the instructions for manual removal here http://www.americanpendulum.com/2013/03/21/remove-... (cleaned cookies, add-ons, extensions, cache )but it seems that i also need an antimalware tool. I am now downloading Malwarebytes and I hope it helps. And most of all I hope it prevents future infections like this.
I'll be back with feed back when the scan is complete.

If MBAM doesn't work, I'd try TDSSKiller, Rogue Killer and then Combofix. I say to use Combofix LAST because you have to remove your anti-virus for it to work safely.
