This section provides a tutorial example on how to remove NetZero toolbar - Toolbar.dll.
Symptom: When NetZero toolbar is installed on your computer, an extra toolbar shows up on your IE browser as shown in this picture:
NetZero toolbar offers you a search box and icons for NetZero related services. However, it does take away space from your browser window to make a "bar" to displays icons for you to invoke its functions. I want to remove it.
IE Add-ons List: Click IE Tools > Manage Add-ons, I saw:
ZeroBar Toolbar Toolbar.dll
HijackThis Report: In the report, I saw:
O3 - Toolbar: ZeroBar - {F0F8ECBE-D460-4B34-B007-56A92E8F84A7} - C:\Program Files\NetZero\Toolbar.dll
