Toolbars

[Will Rathbun]

I would like to know if there's any way to rid my
internet explorer of unwanted toolbars.

Thank You

You asked. These are from various sources.
spybot and adware are best
-----------------------------------
from usatoday
Trend Micro and Websense offer spyware filters from their
Web sites at trendmicro.com and websense.com. A search on
Google.com for Spyware blockers reveals a variety of free
and payment-required downloads at sites like spyguard.com
and bulletproofsoft.com.

The problem may be due to a spyware.

Download Ad-Aware from www.lavasoftusa.com, scan the
system and eliminate
the malware products. Re-apply the above fix if necessary.
