I got some "unwanted" toolbars put onto my explorer
browser and I would like to know how to get them off.
It's really testing my wits to try to delete them off.
They only appear if I right-click up in the toolbar area
and click on that particular one. However, the problem is
quite frustrating, because I have accumulated many without
my consent. Please reply
 
You visit a website and a small window pops up asking if
you want to download something. If you press NO it will
still probably download the stuff in background without
you knowing. They also disable the little corner x so
you cannot opt-out that way. The only way to exit is
task manager and end task that browser.

This probably happened to you because it has happened to
me a dozen times. I visit 30-40 different sites a day in
my work so I know about these little guys. Remember the
task manager is your friend.

Test this visit pumpkin.co.uk and press the back button.
Change your homepage box appears...use task manager to
exit the browser.

visit these sites and get one or two of these:
