    Yahoo toolbar
    « on: March 29, 2009, 11:55:20 PM »
    I can't get the Yahoo toolbar off!  I downloaded IE 8 and there is no way  to get it off of Add/Remove because it is not listed.  There is no way Yahoo tells you how to get rid of it.  I have asked around and it seems that everyone else has that problem too.  Any clues?

    Thanks

      Thanks, the problem is that those instructions are not meant for IE 8.  I think that they are meant for IE 6 or 7. There is no way to remove it from A/R, nor is there an uninstall feature.

        Neither one of those work either.  I've been to the second one already.  I've been through the search engines and haven't found anything that worked yet.

        Thanks

          Why don't you just try to go back to the earlier versions of internet explorer like version 6 or 7.

          Do you have any other Browser Helper Ojects that are corrupted or unknown

          goto Tools -> Internet Options -> (Browsing History for ie7) Settings -> View Objects

          if anything is damaged or unknown blow it away..in fact blow the whole list away if you see programs in there from 2005.

          Then you should reset you internet explorer to defaults and try again. Internet Options -> advanced tab - reset

            Hello, King,
            I had IE 6 before this.  I installed IE 7 when it came out;however, it messed up my computer, so I went back to IE6.  It doesn't seem like there is a way to uninstall IE 8.  I haven't talked to anyone who has it removed.  It would be OK if I could just hide it.  It doesn't seem to do that either.  I contacted Yahoo to see if they know if there is a way to do this.  I haven't heard from there yet.
             Mainiac, I did a check to see if there were any damaged files.  There was one, so I got rid of it.  Thanks for your help.
