I have a search toolbar that shows itself in my internet
explorer window whenever I open it. It's annoying, just
adds more clutter and I want it outta there. When I right
click on toolbars in IE, it goes under the name
voulyielgrs.

How do I find this file and delete it? It showed up when
I updated my messenger plus MSN messenger program. Thanks!

Look in Add/Remove programs in the Control panel. Try to uninstall it that
way first.
Download, update and run both AdAware and Spyboy Search and Destroy.

Hi Josh,

To remove it manually go to: Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar

To have it removed automatically, run this edit:

Remove Added IE Toolbar Entries (Line 174)

Clear Entries from Tools

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Extensions

Select each subkey and look at its MenuText value in the right-hand pane.
When you locate the menu item, delete the entire subkey.
