Check this link.
http://sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/adware.istbar.html
It includes renoval instructions from Symantec.
It may ask you to make modifications to your registry. If you are not familiar/comfy with this, have your local geek help you out.
Let me know if it helps or if you need some coaching with it.

Edited to add: I read a little closer and see that there is a link to a removal tool that may be a little easier for non-geeks to use to remove this.
I haven't yet used this tool but beeing that it is from Symantec, I would reccommend it.

Symantic tool got rid of some of it. Got rid of the dialer that prevented me from downloading the Opera Browser, which is what I just did.

Here was the solution:
Used the symantec tool; That got rid of a dialer that was perventing me from downloading Opera browser.
Downloaded Opera
Then downloaded Zone Alarm firewall.
Now I can't visit my "companionship sites".
