How to remove toolbars from Internet Explorer

March 1, 2010 – 9:00 am

When working on clients machines we often find far too many toolbars in use in their web browser. Having several toolbars can slow down the program, let in spyware/trojans/viruses if they’re not secure, cause the browser to crash, take up a lot of space and mess up with your settings (just to name a few!!)

There are two easy ways to remove toolbars from Internet Explorer…

Method 1

You may notice that next to the toolbar you wish to remove has a cross next to it.  Simply click on the cross and if necessary confirm you wish to remove the toolbar.  (Click image to enlarge)

Method 2

You can remove a toolbar from your computer by using control panel settings…

XP

Vista/Windows 7

The toolbar should now be removed permanently.
