Applies only to Internet Explorer:
Get ToolbarCop to remove menu extensions:
http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/utils/ToolbarCop.exe
ToolbarCop removes the Toolbars, Toolbar buttons and unwanted menu-extensions from Internet Explorer. It does not remove the spyware from the system entirely. It is advisable to run Ad-Aware scan (
www.lavasoftusa.com), if the toolbar entries are not removed.
Manual Procedure:
Click [Start] [Run] type [REGEDIT].
Navigate to the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt.
Each subkey of this key represents one menu item. Many will include an ampersand (&) to define the underlined key associated with the command. Highlight the key you want to delete (for example, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt\Zoom &In). Choose Export from the Registry menu and export that branch to a file. Now delete the key.
