How do i remove a toolbar permanently?

It's a "Shop at Home" toolbar. I need to remove it permanently

hello, please go to the firefox ''menu ≡ > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc).
also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there.
finally, run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

  • I really would like to know how to totally remove Yahoo toolbar from my Firefox browser as well as my computer. I don't like those special toolbars at all.

    I really would like to know how to totally remove Yahoo toolbar from my Firefox browser as well as my computer. I don't like special toolbars at all. I find it irritating that you included one in the newest version of your browser. In the future I would hope you would leave this or any other out. Firefox used to be my favorite browser to use, now I am not going to want to use it because of the extra toolbar. Please tell me there is a way to remove this, not just hide it.

    You can't move the Yahoo Toolbar from IE to Firefox, they are totally different "behind the scenes". However you can install it, [http://us.toolbar.yahoo.com/ http://us.toolbar.yahoo.com/] and I believe if you log in with your Yahoo account it will sync your data.

  • How do I remove a toolbar from my homepage that I don't want?

    How do I remove a toolbar from my homepage that was added when I downloaded software?

    What is the name of the toolbar?
    It depends on how the toolbar was installed:
    *Some are controlled by settings in the application that installed it
    *Some are simple extensions and can be un-installed in Tools > Add-ons > Extensions
    *Some are installed as programs and are un-installed in (Windows) Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs

  • How to disable Acrobat reader toolbar permanently when rendering PDF with Adobe Reader in-browser

    Hi ,
    I am using Adobe Reader  to view my pdf files which is embedded in the HTML page and running as an activex. I need to disable the toolbar like share the content as email link /attachment  for the security reason.  I am able to find a way to hide  the Acrobat toolbar  but it is visible  by just pressing F8.
    Can anyone please suggest a way to disable the toolbar permanently.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Jobin.

    Hi Bernd Alheit,
         when I try to open a PDF in a browser and attaching the query string as #toolbar=0 makes the toolbar hidden. But in my case I am rendering the form using a formservice - renderPDFForm method with XDP format file as a input file. So I cant use the toolbar=0 option, since there is no url. Rather I have used the   javascript code in the form designer to hide the toolbar. app.toolbar  =false ; But this particular code is not working for acrobat reader X version. Can you please help me how to hide the tool bar.
    Thanks,
    Dhamo

  • How do I remove Yahoo toolbar?

    Hi, Somehow Yahoo toolbar has downloaded onto my pc. Yes I have downloaded a new software but it never asked me if I wanted Yahoo. I am very vigilant when I download software & I swear there was no mention of Yahoo.
    I've been to the remove a software from the control panel on my windows 7 pc but there is no mention of Yahoo.
    I've also checked the extensions on Firefox add ons but there is no Yahoo there either.
    I've even removed Yahoo from the Registry and...
    Yahoo still comes up!!!
    I've searched various forums etc & none of them mention the problem I have.
    Does anyone please know how to remove this toolbar I do not want from my pc?
    Any help please would be appreciated.

    okay while in the mist of posting that I was doing some digging in other hidden file areas....get ready to cheer all...i think we can nuke it now.
    travel on your windows 7 boxes to C:\Users\<your user name here>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\uh07uw1k.default\extensions\{635abd67-4fe9-1b23-4f01-e679fa7484c1}
    take note that there are a bunch of yahoo files and folders hidden inside there....
    NUKE (delete) the folder 635abd67-4fe9-1b23-4f01-e679fa7484c1 an yahoo toolbar and all of its trash is gone.if its not named the same for you just keep hunting in there and compare the install date of the toolbar and the date the files where made and you too can be free of this massive pain in the @$$ yahoo has created to collect data an just down right annoy you with.
    Hope that this has helped all of you.....

  • How do I remove yahoo toolbar I didn't install from Firefox, 4 is clean. I like clean.

    Just recently started using FireFox 4. Is a great browser and I intend to install in my new computer later this afternoon. How do I remove/delete yahoo's toolbar? Yahoo is my email but I don't need their toolbar messing up FireFox.

    I removed it by clicking on the "Tools" menu, then select "Add-Ons." Once the list populates, click on "Extensions," then locate the Yahoo Toolbar. Off to the right hand side you can click either "Disable" or "Remove." I disabled it, restarted Firefox 4.0 and no annoying Yahoo toolbar :)

  • How do I remove cyberdefender toolbar for Firefox?

  • How do i remove InstallMac toolbar?

    I have somehow managed to install something called InstallMac on my Mac and can't find a way to get rid of it. It has taken over Safari and will only let me use its search engine. How can I remove this without anti-malware software?
    Is there a uninstall software section like on Windows?

    You may have installed the "Genieo" or "InstallMac" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    Besides the files listed in the linked support article, you may also need to remove this file in the same way:
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.ltvbit.plist
    If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those you find, remove them as well.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates
    if it's not already checked.

  • How do I remove a toolbar?

    I want to remove ALOT Toolbar for Firefox. Any suggestions?
    Thanks,

    ALOT must be getting fed up with the bad publicity. See http://www.spywareremove.com/removeALOTToolbar.html
    By the way, ignore the link to the 'free scanner' on that page because you have to buy it to remove ALOT. Malwarebytes will remove it for you for free if the link ''silkphoenix ''posted doesn't do the trick.
    I'd recommend you run the Malwarebytes scanner anyway because ALOT might have installed other malware on your system.

  • How do I remove a toolbar from a program that accidentally installed on mmy computer?

    I was online today and a program I wanted installed on my computer changed all my firefox settings. I was able to reset my home page, but there is a huge toolbar I don't know how to get rid of. I can't find the program on my computer uninstall it. I'm not sure what to do to get rid of the program or the toolbar.
    Thanks,
    Karen

    Usually you can disable or remove toolbars here:
    Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions category
    If it there is a Disable button but not a Remove button, it usually means you have to return to the Windows Control Panel Add/Remove Programs to remove it.
