Embedded links in Tools menu

I

Ian Rowe

I seem to have several links embedded in the drop down
menu of the Tools option in my browser. The annoying
little applications that caused this have been deleted,
but I cannot figure out how to get rid of the link.

Ian,

Download Toolbarcop and remove the menu-entries: http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/toolbarcop.htm

If the entries are added without your knowledge, it may be due to parasites! Download all of these utilities and scan the system.
