How do I uninstall toolbars and BHOs?

To uninstall toolbars and BHO’s, you need:

  1. Start AppCleaner
  2. A list of toolbars and BHO’s are displayed according to each browser. Check the desired toolbars and BHO’s to remove. You can double click the Internet Explorer or Firefox icon to select all corresponding toolbars and BHO’s or click the Select All button.

What is a BHO?

A Browser Helper Object (BHO) is a DLL module designed as a plugin for Microsoft’s Internet Explorer web browser to provide added functionality.  Toolbars are using BHO’s, so they need to be removed as well. However, you could have other types of BHO such as the Adobe Acrobat Reader that you might want to keep.
