Please Help with Wnadoo/Orange Toolbar & Branding

Hi,

First time poster here!!

I had Wanadoo installed onto my Laptop when they were rebranded as Orange. I now have another ISP and cannot for the life of me get rid of the Orange Toolbar. The message I get when trying to uninstall is Cannot find 'C:\PROGRA~1\Wanadoo\WSBar\Uninstall.bat.'

I also have the Wanadoo logos on my PC when in IE or Outlook Express. How do I get rid of this hated Toolbar and branding???

I have seen that a lot of people are posting Hijack this logs. Can this help identify any further unwanted/harmful things on the PC?

Please, Please help.

Thanks,

Steve.

Not too sure about the Wanadoo/Orange toolbar "removal" trouble; however regarding the branding problem - quite a while back; I had a very similar problem as well and used this Doug Knox Visual Basic Script fix:

Google this exact phrase: Remove IE/OE Branding (and then choose the first search result choice).

To use this Visual Basic Script fix: Download the Unbrand.vbs file and save it to your hard drive. Double-click the Unbrand.vbs file and enter the information as you desire. Close and restart IE and/or OE, if they're open.

Side Note: For anybody with Spybot Search & Destroy there is a function to change this also.

Tools > IE Tweaks > Internet Explorer Custom Title > Current User (Remove and replace with your own name or whatever you want) > Apply

Come to think of it; you might try this for the toolbar trouble:
(1) Go to: Manage Add-Ons… (from the IE Tools menu).
(2) Using Manage Add-ons > Enable/Disable might do the trick.

Good Luck!
