======================================
I had this issue with Internet Explorer 8 and the fix
was change my theme to Windows Classic.

Start / Control Panel / Display / Themes / Windows Classic

Here's a screenshot:

This is not the MVP site despite its fake logos.

The correct MVP site is http://www.mvps.org/.

Hey Scum-Sucking Pig,

The links you have provided don't prove anything nor do they solve the
OPs problem namely "Int. Explorer black toolbars"

Have you lost your brain?

You missed this part "Linked to green site ""When we visited this site, we
found that most of its links are to sites which are safe or have only minor
safety/annoyance issues." You see site advisor is crap, they post ratings
by what the trolling public post even though their own tests show it is
safe. Mcafee has been testing every download on my site for years and every
time its clean. There is nothing malicious about my website and mcafee is
not the only one who says that. Use virus total http://www.virustotal.com/

Through the first link(or links from it) I saw a couple of different posts
about the ATI HotKey Poller causing the problem and to fix it by disabling
it in MSconfig. I thought this had started for me after updating the display
drivers for my ATI graghics card and it kind of looked like an overlay
problem. Not wanting to fix it in MSconfig I disabled it in My Computer>
Manage>Services. After reruning IE8 several time it went back to putty or
whatever color it's supposed to be and has remained that way. YMMV
Especially if you don't have ATI(AMD) graghics.
