I got this from a SweetIM page:

How do I uninstall the SweetIM Toolbar for Firefox?

You can hide the SweetIM for Firefox by clicking your right mouse button while the cursor is over the SweetIM toolbar, and then selecting SweetIM for Firefox. If you prefer to uninstall the SweetIM for Firefox and remove it from your computer entirely, go to your Tools in Firefox menu and select Add-ons. Now select SweetIM for Firefox and click on Uninstall button.

Sorry but both posted solutions are not really effective solutions. The thing is that heeps of traces in the register are left behind. Simple, this irritating sweetIM trojan is horrible. IE (Microsoft crap of course) will hang on this add on toolbar. Firefox pretty well removes the D**n thing. Even Revo Uninstaller suite has problems with it to remove it. It comes with a warning. "Finish installing the program before you continue". But that is a fake warning. My opinion is that is a obvious built in bug to keep the program on your PC. Nice going "SweetIM technologies Ltd." for bugging us with this sh**. Now an effective solution can be(situation depending) a toolbar cleaning tool will help.
