John, I use Internet Explorer and if I click on View, it shows the toolbars that are in use. Just click on the one you don't want, and it will remove the checkmark. That toolbar will disappear.

Thank you for the advice Gary. A ballon pops up from a new icon at the bottom of my computer & says you may be a victim of software counterfeiting. I have not added any new software lately but I did a disc cleanup because of low disc space right before this happened. Would that cause a problem?

Hello John Did you reboot after trying to remove the toolbar? Did you find Yahoo Toolbar in the Add/Remove on Windows? If so try once again to remove it. It shows in Add/Remove on my comp. If that doesn't work then go to Start-all programs and see if Yahoo Toolbar is listed there. If so, look for the uninstaller. If it has one it should show.

I just downloaded the latest version of CCleaner, and they have installed the Yahoo Tool Bar. Have tried the Add/Remove on Windows, but it doesn't work. Can you tell me how to get rid of this Tool Bar please? John

I had to press keys - Fn + F2 to get it on, I've just tried restarting it to see if it comes on automatically, but it does'nt seem so. I don't know if I can receive emails on it yet, until I can work out how to transfer everything over onto the new one. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Judy in Ocala Sent: 21 October 2006 16:37 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [GEN-COMP-TIPS] Wireless network On mine it's on the frame of the keyboard, above the F1, F2, etc., along with the power button, speaker button and a few other customized buttons.

Now I just need to figure out how to transfer everything to my new one! June

A big thankyou to you all!! It looks like I've managed it at last! Thank you! June

Hi Pat, the one I'm trying to get going is a Fujitsu, I don't know why they can't issue them with instructions any more, there are 2 switches on the bottom of it, I think ones to release the battery, and the other seems to knock the comp off. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Pat D.

Try uninstalling CCleaner. It may remove the toolbar. It is a pity CCleaner includes that as a default install rather than making it an option. Once you have uninstalled CCleaner and hopefully, Yahoo toolbar, too, reinstall CCleaner and make sure the Yahoo toolbar is unselected. > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > Sent: Sat, 21 Oct 2006 23:20:03 +0200 > To: [email protected] > Subject: [GEN-COMP-TIPS] CCleaner and Yahoo > > I just downloaded the latest version of CCleaner, and they have installed > the Yahoo Tool Bar.
