how to uninstall a 3rd-party browser helper object?

[News Howardz]

There are some bugs in the 3rd-party browser helper object
installed on my IE6.
Now I have to disable all the 3rd-party browser extentions
to avoid affecting normal function of IE.

But not all helper objects are bad, and I only want to
remove the damaged (with-bug) one from my IE.

How can I do that?
And how can I see what objects have been installed on my
IE?

BHO's - Browser Helper Objects and extensions are located here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions

Anything suspicious off this entry should be exported *first* then deleted
if found unncecessary.

Your best best to detect and rid your machine of "bad bugs" is to run a Spyware
Scanner. Run SpyBot Search & Destroy and Ad-aware from this link:

Hi,

The following to keys are related to IE Toolbar add-ons:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions

For BHOs, this registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Browse
r Helper Objects

Additional Information:
If you want to disable a particular BHO, use BHOCop or BHODaemon utility.
You will know what each subkey represents:
