Removing IE 6.0 toolbars

[Paul Ellis]

Hi,
How do I remove toolbars from IE 6.0? For example, there
is a toolbar that has "appeared" called iSearch toolbar.
How do I remove it. There is no remove icon under remove
programs in the control panel.
Thanks
Paul

From a post by Ramesh - Microsoft MVP:

Using ToolbarCop to remove the unwanted Toolbars, Toolbar Icons and BHO:
http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/toolbarcop.htm

Look at the entries one by one in the first section "Internet Explorer
Toolbar Buttons", the items under the Tools menu & the toolbar buttons will
be listed here. Once removed the unwanted entries, click Options menu and
choose "Increase the security level for Internet Zone (Internet Explorer"
option. Then, run all of the spyware cleaners:

[Spyware removers - This part not to be skipped]
Lavasoft Ad-Aware - www.lavasoftusa.com
SpyBot S&D - http://www.safer-networking.org/
(Spyware removers are rules-based and are updated very frequently as and
when new malware is discovered. Therefore, update ALL of these tools before
scanning, very important)

I think you have to run a program to remove it. Check out
