I want to get rid of the Google toolbar on my computer, How?

I have a Yahoo toolbar and do not need all of these toolbars taking up space.|||If you have problem uninstalling it, or just don't want to open up this and that at the moment, just close all the IE windows but leave one, right-click on the menu bar and uncheck the item "Google toolbar". Close that IE window too. From now on you can expect the toolbar to be hidden at most of the time. In this way you get what you want instantly.





Good luck!|||Thanks, Muscular Homo. Your answer worked and was easy to figure out!

|||Go to Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs.|||I have to agree with rubberducky this is the only way unless you want to slick your harddrive|||In add/remove programs, it should be listed as Goggle Toolbar for Internet Explorer (or whatever browser you have)|||If you still can't remove the Google Toolbar by going to the Control Panel and using the add/remove programs method, you could try using something called "HijackThis" (it's a freeware program.)





Basically, this tiny application will go through and look at several common ways of attaching to Windows that can cause things to be hijacked.





The Google Toolbar uses something called a Browser Helper Object (BHO), which is a DLL that allows developers to customize Internet Explorer. The BHO's location will be stored in your Registry somewhere. HijackThis will find the location and allow you to remove the entry, thus removing it from IE.





The interface isn't particularly easy to read if you don't know what a BHO or Startup entry is but trust me, it will do the job nicely if you spend a little time and find the "BHO" that says Google Toolbar.
