How do I remove toolbar from Internet Explorer?

There are two easy ways to remove one of our toolbars from your Internet Explorer browser.  You can either remove from the toolbar itself, or through your computer's control panel.

Uninstall from the toolbar:

Did you know that you can uninstall one of our toolbar's directly from the toolbar itself?  Here's how:

1. Click on the toolbox icon found on the far right of the toolbar
2. Our Uninstall link can generally be found under Toolbar Options found under this menu. Please note not all toolbar's will have the Toolbar Options section.  Regardless of the wording you will find the Uninstall option in this menu area.
3. Click the Uninstall <toolbar name> link and then confirm you want to remove the toolbar on the confirmation dialog.  In our example above we click Uninstall Weatherblink and click Yes on the confirmation dialog.

Uninstall via Control Panel:

If you want to uninstall the old fashion way, please scroll down to the instructions that correspond to your operating system.  Please note:  The toolbar will not be listed under the brand Ask.com.  You will find the toolbar listed under the brandname of the toolbar itself (for instance VideoDownloadConverter, HowToSimplified, etc).
