How to regain a clear IE without 3rd party extensions??

[Philippe Borel [Switzerland]]

Hi there,

After encountering some rather strange problems with script errors, I'd like
to regain now my original IE configuration. Indeed, before I had used for
some time the "Avant" Browser, but I have already uninstalled it by now.
However, it still left "traces" on my IE, as you can see it here:
< Moz/4.0 (MSIE 6.0; WinNT 5.1; Avant Browser [avantbrowser.com];
Hotbar 4.2.11.0; Hotbar 4.2.14.0; Hotbar 4.3.1.0) >

So any valuable tips of how to proceed exactly in order to disable fully
this Avant Browser (+ Hotbar too?) on my IE would be very much
appreciated...thank you very much in advance.

Philippe,

Script errors can be caused by a diagnostic setting in IE so you may want to
check tools>internet options>advanced and near the top of the list choose
"Disable script debugging" and uncheck "Display a notification about every
script error"

Then look at these pages to see if any help remove the hotbar junk.
