Q&A: Uninstalling Toolbars in Internet Explorer

Q.

How do you get rid of an unwanted Internet Explorer specialty toolbar? I can’t find it in my All Programs list and don’t see it in the Control Panel list of programs to change or remove.

A.

If a new third-party toolbar is not as helpful as you were hoping, you can usually uninstall it from Internet Explorer’s own settings if you do not see it in the Programs list. Some extra toolbars also show up on the browser unexpectedly when you install a game or free program and many of these can be more annoying than helpful. Some may even cause the browser to crash or behave erratically.

To yank the unwanted toolbar, open Internet Explorer. Click on the Tools menu — or press Alt+X — and choose “Manage add-ons.”

A box appears on screen with a list of all the toolbars, search engines and other software that runs alongside the browser. In the “Add-on types” column on the left, choose “Toolbars and Extensions.” In the Show menu at the bottom of the column, select “All add-ons.” On the right side of the box, select the unwanted toolbar in the list and then click the Disable button. Click the Close button. Microsoft’s site has more information about Internet Explorer add-ons.

how does that work with chrome ??  

let me see what i can find...i was going to update zonealarm the other day and it won't allow itself to be installed unless you check the boxes to make zonealarm your default homepage and default search engine...i'll have to search out a different provider of the zonealarm to update...i try NEVER to let anything become the search engine etc...just too much trouble to deal with

try this....
new tab...click on the three lines on the right side of the address bar
go down the list to settings
there you find the management of your defaults and your search engines...
