Hi. This is Chris from Meebo. The Meebo bar is a JS feature of many websites (e.g. Seventeen.com, sfgate.com) and it will appear on those sites. Nothing is installed on your computer or browser. We have seen a number of people mistake the bar for a browser-installed toolbar and we are working on making this clearer. Sorry for the confusion.
