Thanks to all who replied (C Thomson, Connie, Ken, Cuffy, PHogan); all your
comments were helpful. I did an all file search for MySearch and got a
"hit" on a hidden file. I deleted it, and did the pull/drag/uncheck toolbar
lock things and now have an almost "normal" VIEW. I have a Norton antivirus
icon as the first item on my tool bar. It has a dropdown menu arrow which
allows me to view a number of things or launch NSW. I don't really want
that icon there or anywhere in the tool bar row but cannot seem to get rid
of it. It's been first, last, and even had its own row at one point. I
have my address bar and tools I want on the tool bar so I am mostly
satisfied. There doesn't seem to be a setting I can change to cause the NAV
icon to disappear; more likely I don't know where to look.
Another oddity: After my original email posted I got an email from
[log in to unmask] telling me that MDaemon had identified my message as
spam and would not, therefore, be delivered. Of course it had already been
delivered. I don't know why/how I could be identified as spam. I'm sitting
here at home writing this email on my laptop and hitting the "send" button.
I have no onboard viruses, I keep my NAV current, I scan all email. NAV
does keep giving me three threat alerts for adware.binet, but it won't
delete the files. These things may be attaching themselves to my outgoing
email and NAV is missing them because it does scan all my outgoing email. I
am mystified as to how I can be seen as spam.

Subject: Re: [PCSOFT] address bar missing
I have had similar experience. Mine was because some files downloaded
themselves (at least without my knowledge) and captured IE's toolbar. Took a
lot of time to search out the files and delete them, edit the registry to
delete them and change some of the advanced settings under Internet Options.
You can reload IE again to correct some of the proiblems. Look to see if you
recognize subdirectories such as MySearch and similar. Will be under
Program Files.
Good luck.
I have a puzzler and I don't know how it came about. While browsing with IE
tonight I realized my URL address bar is missing. I clicked on View, Tool
Bars, Address Bar and the address bar did not appear. What I did get is a
box labeled "Address" at the end of the row my Google tool bar is on (and
just after my "Links" link). It's not so much a box as just a label. Left
clicking on it does nothing and right clicking brings up the same choices as
View, Toolbars. I even tried rebooting and still nothing.
How can I "find" my address bar?
