Question: On my Microsoft Internet Explorer homepage (which is Google news) the conventional toolbar at the top comes up but so does an unwanted Yahoo toolbar. I can right click on the Yahoo toolbar and get a list of options which includes a checkmarked ‘Yahoo Toolbar’ item which I can uncheck and get it to go away, but it always comes back. How can I permanently keep it off?  - Robert, Breckenridge

Answer: That checkmark you’re fiddling with simply toggles the display of the Yahoo! toolbar on and off; it doesn’t remove it from Internet Explorer completely.

To remove the Yahoo! toolbar once and for all from your browser, you’ll need to click on the little Pencil button that sits in the toolbar. Then click Uninstall and close your browser. All done.

Alternatively, if you run into trouble trying to remove the toolbar using the first method, you could alternatively go to Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs, scroll down and click on the “Yahoo Toolbar!” item, then click Change/Remove.
