    Sorry to be the 1 millionth person who has posted this question, but I cant find a solid post here for the solution so far. I want to get RID of the Yahoo Toolbar (which my daughter inadvertently, and against the rules) downloaded.
    I tried add/remove-ing all Yahoo stuff, and it's still there.

    Anyone have an easy fix? I don't want to have to go through the HiJack This logs, and all that, if possible.
    BTW, it's in Firefox, and not in IE.

    Thanks much,

    Brant

    Ah, nevermind. I found the add ons menu in the Firefox under tools, and uninstalled it from there. So far so good.

    Cheers,

    Also, typically right clicking in the area of the toolbar allows you to hide it from view and loading, might also help.
