Mirar is a rather irritating than dangerous application. It is a malicious Internet Explorer browser helper object disguised as a legitimate plugin, therefore it is hard to remove without having a functional security software.
Mirar hijacks the IE browser and redirects it to some commercial websites that have not been requested by the user. It also pops-out various annoying ads while surfing the net. Mirar can be removed from the computer by using the bellow instructions or by downloading and installing a legitimate anti-spyware program.
