How to Remove Yahoo toolbar

[Summer1]

I have three toolbars installed on IE8-Yahoo (to the right of the address
box), and Google and AVG below the address box.

I want to uninstall the Yahoo toolbar but how? It is not listed under
'Add/Remove' programs and there is a magnifying glass and arrow to the right
of this toolbar that says 'Manage search providers' so I removed Yahoo
toolbar from there but it is still showing.

I uninstalled Yahoo messenger (since the toolbar was included during the
Messenger install so it would be removed by deleting Messenger) but it is
still there.

I know that for AVG toolbar, AVG has to be uninstalled and installed again
'without' the toolbar option and Google toolbar is easy to uninstall as well
but I am stumped by Yahoo.

Any ideas?

Did you opt to install the Yahoo-customized version of IE8?

Which version of the toolbar do you have?

There is a tool "safe360" can help you remove any IE add-in you don't want.

If you go into Add/Remove Programs in your control panel, there should
be a listing for Yahoo something crap essentials, or something like
that. When you click to remove it you will get a window pop up that
has a list of some of the junk that Yahoo tossed onto your machine and
you can select which ones (all?) to get rid of. Toolbar should be
there. If not call the idiots at Yahoo and ask them where they hid it
at.

And there's nothing name "Yahoo" in Add/Remove Programs now?
