BT Yahoo! Help Please

I was recently 'forced' by BTYahoo saying I wouldn't have access if I didn't to upgrade to Internet Explorer 8.

Since I gave in apart from the pc crashing! I have the following issues:

a) I have been unable to access one of my sub accounts because I can't work out how - it was all set to go automatically

b) I have multiple (6) bars at the top of the screen and am convinced I don't need most of them but don't know which I can safely remove without causeing more problems

I'm sorry if they are trivial but I'd really appreciate some advice please.

From the top the bars are:
a normal one that tells what page I'm on
the File, Edit, View, etc......one
a Google one
a BT Yahoo one
a McAfree one
?? one that contains amongst other things - favourites, free hotmail?, windows media, start group, my bookmarks, home, tools etc.....

Thank you if you can help

    Uninstall the toolbars you don't need/use under Control Panel -> Software. If you can't find them there look in IE under Tools -> AddOns or so (I don't use IE so I don't know exactly). If this fails too just prevent them from showing. Go to View -> Toolbars and untick the one you don't want.
