Internet Explorer taskbar. How do I

Norman-B

get rid of all the rubbish in my taskbar?
I don't know how I did it but I must have down loaded something and my taskbar is full of adverts for this that and the other. When I log onto a page, I get a popup that seems to be connected to the subject I've got on the screen. Help! I want to revert back to a plain taskbar.

I have a popup blocker but it does not stop the popups.

You can usually uninstall things like toolbars from add/remove programs.

Alternatively, right click on the toolbar and untick anything you want to get rid off although try to unistall if you can so that they are gone forever.

Thanks for the reply. I have looked in add/remove and the google taskbar is not in there to remove.

See the malware sticky thread at the top of the page.

in IE7 do you mean at the top or the bottom.
if at the top
right-click on an empty place on the top bar,
go to customize command bar
then go to add and remove commands
you can add/remove anything from here.
alternately,
if you mean loads of different address bars,tool bars,
righ-click at the top,
un-check which ever ones you dont want,
this should get rid of some and give you more desktop space.
