Answer 2

Sounds a bit like hijacking... and may be tough to get rid of.

Look here: 'Start' > My computer > 'C' drive > 'Programs' > look for the folder with the name of the junky toolbar (or related) and look in that folder for an 'uninstall' and open/run that.

Usually these junk items don't want to get removed so don't have it, but it's worth a look.

Failing that, try the Norton/Symantec site for removal steps.  Although a bit tekky, it does have removal step by step instructions for this kind of crud.

Best related advice is keep these guys out in the first place.   Turn OFF 3RD PARTY COOKIES!

In your browser, go to 'Tools' >Internet Options >

Privacy > Advanced: here check 'Override...'  'Allow session...' 'Allow 1st Party...' and 'BLOCK 3RD PARTY COOKIES'

Answer 3

if yes, so go to ( Control Panel > Add Or Remove Hardware > then you will read the toolbar such as ( Yahoo, Google, etc.....)

Type 'appwiz.cpl' and press enter. you would get the add/remove programs window.

In this window, search for the toolbar and click on the toolbar entry. Select uninstall from the top of the windows and follow instructions.
