184452 2003-10-18 09:28:00 Can anyone tell me how to remove this? The install site says to use Windows Add/Remove programs. I tried this with key words provided but nothing matches. So I emailed the site operators (sir search?) only to find that their typed email does not exist. I don't like having 8mm taken away from my viewing screen by something I didn't even order. (I think my wife clicked "make this your home page" and it grew from there. Thanks for any help, in advance. - Jack Jack Ponting (1849)
184453 2003-10-18 18:33:00 hijack;) is that a google tool bar or an independant one? Thomas (1820)
184454 2003-10-18 18:48:00 Have you tried Adaware or Spybot? Chris Randal (521)
184455 2003-10-18 19:37:00 Is it stating the obvious that you try removing from control panel...add and remove?? Thomas (1820)
184456 2003-10-18 19:46:00 Have a look here (www.free-web-browsers.com)

184457 2003-10-18 21:08:00 Thanks you guys/gals?
I had tried the Control Panel/Ad/Remove programs but to no avail.
I ran Adaware also to no avail.
I downloaded and installed NoAdware and came up with 12 identities which I wasn't able to directly identify with the toolbar so I didn't part with $20US (I'm a scrooge).
But what was most helpful was the suggestion to open the toolbar display option and untick the power search toolbar.
I know this doesn't uninstall it, however I've now my desired 8mm of viewing window back. Cheers - Jack

184458 2003-10-18 21:11:00 You might like to try Spybot as that is quite often very successful at removing these things, and then preventing them being installed in the first place. Susan B (19)
