How to get rid of Toolbars easily
Today
i will tell u that how to get rids from different types of toolbars
easily and I’m a big fan of free software, and there are (thankfully)
several reliable sources for downloading functional, virus-free open
source programs, (like CNET, for example). However, an increasingly
common annoyance often comes with free and inexpensive software—it’s
“bundled” with other software you may not even realize you’re installing
if you don’t read each screen of the installation wizard carefully.
To be clear, the bundled software from trusted sources like CNET isn’t malicious. These aren’t viruses. Rather, these are pieces of software you just didn’t realize you were getting when you downloaded something else. One of the most common varieties is browser toolbar add-ons.

If
you’ve installed one of these by accident in the past, you likely knew
it. The next time you opened your browser of choice, there would have
been a new set of menus, options and buttons along the top of the
window. A new “toolbar”. While installing them (without even meaning to)
is alarmingly easy, uninstalling them can be a real pain.
Get rid of toolbars easily with
Toolbar clean
Toolbar Cleaner, a free
application focused on finding and deleting toolbar add-ons, makes the
process of removing them a snap. Just download the application and
install it. Launching the program after installation will open a simple
but robust window that lists every toolbar and add-on associated with
each browser on your computer. To remove unwanted toolbars, simply check
the box beside each one you don’t want and hit Remove Selected
Toolbar(s) at the bottom of the window.
Be
aware that Toobar Cleaner is thorough in its hunt for toolbars, add-ons
and browser extensions. So thorough, in fact, that you may find some
items listed you aren’t familiar with. As is always the case, don’t
delete things until you know what they are. (Often a quick Google search
is the easiest way to identify the nature of a program or add-on.)
Also
pay attention while installing Toolbar Cleaner. I downloaded the
program via CNET and, ironically, it came bundled with not one, but two
additional applications. One of them, if you can believe it, was a
toolbar. It’s a good idea to be in the habit of actually reading each
page of the install wizard every time you add a new program to your
computer, and Toolbar Cleaner is no exception. As long as you take the
time to opt out of the additional programs, they will not be installed.
Or, you could simply use Toolbar Cleaner to uninstall them.
Toolbar
Cleaner is a small, handy utility that is easy to understand and, best
of all, extremely useful. I tend to clean up my computer regularly, and
it still managed to find a couple of toolbars that had snuck past me
that I didn’t realize were still installed.
