Solved Getting rid of unwanted software

[JimLL]

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.

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