Default Help wth getting rid of adbot/virus?

Hello, one of my nephews accidentally got an adbot/virus on my computer called "TextEnhance". It highlights words on every website and pops up with ads whenever you roll over a word. Does anybody know how to get rid of it? It's not only annoying, it is making my computer as slow as molasses, and its ticking me off.

Remove the toolbar that is installed with Vuze.

What's Vuze? I'm using IE right now, not Firefox.

None of those worked. There's actually a company that runs the TextEnhance and their help desk told me to remove all add ons to uninstall it. How do I do that with IE?

Not sure from there. On IE at work, and not gonna mess around with it to find out. Too much worky stuffs on here. I use FF at the house, so that's a bit different.
