Java Update

[TBWG]

Hi

I uploaded the most recent Java update only to find it included a Yahoo toolbar

Now I have no wish to clutter up my screen with more duplicated bumf. I have uninstalled the update but the toolbar remains and defies my efforts to get rid of it.

Any ideas?

Just noticed my 1,000 post, had hoped it would have been something more positive!

I think there was an option (maybe selected by default) in the installation wizard that asked you if you wanted to install it or not. I'm guessing you must have clicked the next button.

According to yahoo ..

There are two ways to uninstall the Yahoo! Toolbar for Internet Explorer.

Option 1: Via the toolbar()

Select "Uninstall" from the Pencil button (Toolbar Settings).

Click "Uninstall" on the uninstall page.

Close any open IE windows.

When you restart Internet Explorer, Yahoo! Toolbar will no longer be present.

Option 2: Via the Control Panel

Click the Windows "Start" button.

Select "Control Panel" from the "Settings" menu.

Double-click on "Add/Remove Programs".

Scroll down and click on the "Yahoo! Toolbar" entry.

Click on "Change/Remove."

Close any open IE windows.

Yahoo! Toolbar is now uninstalled. Please start IE again after closing all your open IE browser windows and it will no longer be present.

Well that was easy, thanks MS, not a problem when you know how...However option 2 says delete via Change and remove option, but Yahoo was not listed as being installed. Still I don't care now!!
