Short of replacing the way toolbars work on IE now, I think the only solution for all the toolbars that already exist is for users to hate them as much as we do. Perhaps some sort of user education would help? But many people don't seem to care, and may even feel that all the toolbars are useful to them. And if they don't care either way, perhaps you shouldn't feel quite so bad for them. It's not difficult to remove toolbars, and if you're not computer-savvy enough to do that, ask your computer-savvy friend how to do it.
