Deleting item from Tools Button

[david]

I have 2 items that have automically downloaded as links
into the Tools menu (i.e. Tools button between Favorites
and Help) Can you tell me how you can delete them please.

Thanks

Hi,

You may want to run spyware scans to eliminate the possibility this is
caused by adware.

You can start with AdAware, this program will attempt to remove all spyware
programs, including those that could be responsible for the symptoms you are
describing. Download AdAware here:

Ensure that you update the program after you install it. This shall offer
maximum protection against the newest threats.

You should also consider CWShredder. Think of it like a companion to AdAware
that gets the varients that AdAware may miss. Download CWShredder from:

http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip

You may also wish to consider the following:

Just in case the suggested spyware removers don't remove these items,
then try this:

Use Regedit.exe and remove the items. They should be under here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions
