    Getting rid of unwanted software


    I got a file from CNET. CNET's installer added a thing called SweetPack even though I told it not to. Now I have a couple extra toolbars.

    I have uninstalled SweetPack using Revo Uninstaller, but the tool bar remains. It names itself as such on the screen, but I can't find "sweet" anything in a system wide search. On my XP machine uninstalling it killed the toolbar, but not on Win 7.

    If anyone knows how to send this thing to netherland I'd sure like to hear it.

    Open Internet Explorer, click on the gear icon at the top (far right), then click again on Internet Options.

    In the Internet Options dialog box, click on the Advanced tab, then click on the Reset button.

    In the Reset Internet Explorer settings section, check the Delete personal settings box, then click on Reset.

    When Internet Explorer finishes resetting, click Close in the confirmation dialogue box and then click OK.
    Close and open Internet Explorer.

    Restart the PC .

    Then run AdwCleaner

    Thank you very much. This solved the problem nicely. I seldom see such carefully laid out replies, rather something like RTFM. Thank you.
