I have just downloaded the latest version of CCleaner but forgot to untick the yahoo toolbar option when intalling the program. Now I seem to be stuck with it which I dont want. I've tried unticking by right clicking it but when I open up IE next time around it's back, I've also tried uninstalling CCleaner then re-installing it but this time unticking the yahoo toolbar option but it's still there!

Any ideas?

Pete.
I'll get me coat!

    I think it should be in the list, select it and uninstall.

    That will only hide it, not get rid of it.
