16842 2001-08-11 10:40:00 On my IE 5.5 under the drop down list on Tools I have managed to acquire a new unwanted listed item 'Avx Online Scan'. I have removed all the associated files from the hard drive but I cannot get rid of this item from the drop down list. Can anyone help me please. Guest (0)

If not then its only half uninstalled anyway, your best option is to reinstall it, so you can run the uninstaller.

Select each subkey and look at its MenuText value. When you find the one you want, delete the entire subkey. If you do not see the tool menu item, try looking in: 'HKey_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions' instead.
