Difficult to remove a stubborn Bing toolbar

Similar Questions

• My XP Home Edition has been plagued by a ghost at startup window since I removed the Bing toolbar.

  My XP Home Edition has been plagued by a ghost at startup window since I removed the Bing toolbar.  The window title bar is simply labeled "Microsoft" and the window is empty.  I think that this problem is related to a very slow start.  I have this problem have fought for almost a year and cannot locate the source.

  Any help would be much appreciated.

  original title: Ghost at startup window

  The window title bar is simply labeled "Microsoft" and the window is empty.

  It appears in the Applications tab of the Task Manager?   If so, use with the right button go to the process about which app it is.   If the name of the Image doesn't have a clue you could also use ProcExp to see what is the command line.  (Press Ctrl-Shift-Esc to start TM.   Other OS show the command line in TM, but I don't think that makes XP.)

• How can I get rid of the Bing toolbar

  I use Vista Home Premium. I use the latest version of Firefox. I tried all of the suggestions I've seen on the web, and I still have this annoying toolbar on my browser. It's the f * ing ridiculous to make it difficult to remove the damn thing. There is nothing in my control panel command called bing, or msn toolbar in ccleaner. I'm at my wits end on this thing. Help me!!! PLEASE, I BEG YOU!

  Thank you very much. Told me on other sites, he was called to the search bar, but it was not appear in my control panel under this name. It was also not in my extensions in Firefox. I removed an extension I was not using more, and then he was there. He appeared in my extensions under the name of toolbar search. Weird. I really doubt that many times I went in my extensions are looking for different names, I was told it was, that I missed as many times. I guess it's possible, but highly unlikely. In any case, thanks for your help guys.

• remove the IMAc bing search engine

  How can I remove iMac bing search engine? When I search for something on google, the screen automatically goes to bing for a response. I set Google as my search in the settings provider! Frustrated!

  Do not use any type of product, "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" on a Mac. It is never necessary for her, and relying on it for protection makes you more vulnerable to attacks, not less.

  You may have installed one or more variants of the Trojan 'InstallMac '. Please take the following steps to disable.

  The criminal behind this attack tries to make the malware difficult to remove by varying names of the files it installs. This procedure works now, I know. It will not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a couple of days or more after it was published should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.

  Back up all data before proceeding.

  1 triple - click on the line below on this page to select, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination:

  ~/Library/LaunchAgents

  In the Finder, select

  Go ▹ go to the folder...

  from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return. A folder named "LaunchAgents" opens.

  Press command-2 key combination to select the display of the list, if it is not already selected.

  There should be a column in the update Finder window. Click on this title to sort the content by date. This will make the related files easy to identify regardless of their names, because they will have the same modification date.

  2A inside of the folder that you just opened, there may be files with the name of all these forms:

  something. AppRemoval.plist

  Something.download.plist

  Something.ltvbit.plist

  Something.notification.plist

  Something.Update.plist

  Here, something is usually an empty string of sense, for example one of the following:

  Epolife

  InstallMac

  Javeview

  Kuklorest

  Manroling

  Otwexplain

  Here are examples, not a comprehensive list. The chain could be anything, and there might be more value of something. Looking for a group of files with the same date of change who match the description.

  Lately, the striker of "InstallMac" a were quick strings 'AppRemoval', 'download', 'ltvbit' and 'update' in the names of its records. For example, you might see file names such as these, instead of the above:

  something. AppVemoral.plist

  Something.dolnwoad.plist

  Something.btvlit.plist

  Something.uadpte.plist

  You may have more than one copy of the malware, with different values of something.

  Place all of these in the trash. If there are other files whose name begins with something, those in the trash also move. You can get a caveat that some files are locked; Delete them anyway.

  Once you've done that, we may not have anything left in the LaunchAgents folder; in this case, you can remove the folder, but otherwise does not delete it. Other files in the folder are not necessarily malicious (though they may be, if you have also installed another type of malware).

  Log off or restart the computer. The Trojan horse should now be inactive.

  3. This step is optional. Open the folder as in step 1:

  ~/Library/Application Support

  and move it to the trash of the subfolders with the name, something you found in step 2.

  Do not move the Application Support folder or anything else inside.

  4. open the Applications folder. If there is an element named something, or "Hell Zip", or with any of the other names listed in step 2, then drag it to the trash.

  If in doubt, press option-command-4 key combination to get the apps by date added. Look at the apps that have been added since you first noticed the problem. If there is one, that you don't recognize, drag it to the trash.

  You can get an alert that the item is locked. Confirm that you want to move to the trash.

  Empty the trash.

  If you receive an alert that the application is running, force it to quit.

  5. from the Safari menu bar, select

  ▹ Safari preferences... ▹ Extensions

  Uninstall all extensions, you don't know that you need. When in doubt, remove all of them. None is required for normal operation. Do the equivalent with Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use one of the people.

  If the window does not open, restart the computer in safe mode. Some caches maintained by the system will be rebuilt.

  6. replace the search engine and home page in each of your browsers, if either has been changed. In Safari, first load the desired home page, then select

  ▹ Safari preferences... ▹ General

  and click on

• I have the HP bing toolbar, but there is no enforcement of smart printing thereon. How to do it?

  I tried to download the hp toolbar bing with the smart printing software, but a window pops up saying that I already have a toolbar installed bing.  Catch 22.  Problem being my bing toolbar has no printing Smart app.  If I knew how to uninstall my bing toolbar I could install then the one with the smart printing app.  Or better yet - how can I get a new application on my bing toolbar?

  Terry Davis

  Only the version of HP of the Bing toolbar has the button print. In order to get the smart printing, please uninstall your current Bing bar by using the Add/Remove program in the control panel. Then, return to http://www.hp.com/go/smartprint and follow the Setup instructions for the bing toolbar.

• Bing toolbar blocks the Google toolbar

  I had a problem with a Google toolbar disappeared once I downloaded a system adobe to play a video that I found on a popular web site. I have a Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop, with a system of Vista Home Premium on a 64 bit system, I'm also very much a newbie to computers. I went through a system restore and reboot system to restore the toolbar without result, I also crossed the default program and gone through everything that I could find to get the tool bar in the rear, but so far without success. I used a Superanti-Spyware to find a bug, but all what we found was an adware cookie. I then uninstalled system adobe I thought that may be the cause of the problem thinking that if there was a bug perhaps it gravitated to one of those infected. I then ran the anti-spyware again and then downloaded the new Adobe systems program, but that did not help either, I also ran a Norton antivirus and system MY system and all came out them clean. There was an Adobe system still on the system that I didn't realize was Adobe and I didn't bother with it again because I found something which I think is a problem. I found that the Tools section of the Bing toolbar has a link to the Google bar tool I chkd to get the new toolbar and I got a pop up that asked if I wanted to turn off other parts of the Google bar but I cancelled it. It doesn't have to bring back the toolbar, while I was doing all this disappeared from my Yahoo toolbar and I went back to the same section of the Bing toolbar and double checked the Yahoo tool bar section and she came back. I also had a suggestion to clk on a triangle next to the magnifying glass in the search bar, but I can't find it on this computer. I also had a suggestion by restarting (I guess you could call it) toolbar Bing by clking beginning, clkIE, tools of clk, Internet Options, advanced, clk clk clk Reset, chking box remove personal settings, reset the dialog box settings of IE, clk, Reset, then close clk and clk OK. Once it is I opened the browser again and went to tools, toolbars find toolbar Yahoo and clkd it, a new pop until requested (I think) to restore the bar I clkd Yes and the bar is reappeared. I went back to do the Google bar and clkd on this subject, but instead of a pop up asking if I wanted to restore the Google bar, he asked if I wanted to turn off different parts of the Google bar, I clke cancel and the bar appear. If the section completely ignored Google pop up asking allow the bar. Another thing that has happened is that when I go looking for anything mentioning the Google toolbar and clk on that computer displays a Yahoo tool bar/page. It doesn't matter if it's the icon of Google on the screen or in the part of the program on the start menu that appears. It's almost like the Google bar has been uninstalled completely and the only thing left is the Google search box at the top right of the screen of the computer. And yet, there was nothing happens to indicate that he had no lead going on, at first I thought it was just a glitch of the Adobe system, then I thought it was a bug, now I think there is a glitch in the Bing toolbar or the Google bar has been moved to a file that is not connected to the Bing toolbar. Bing certainly can't seem to find the Google bar and maybe it has been uninstalled but I don't know how it happened. All advice on what happened and what I can do to fix this would be appreciated.

  What happens if you go to "Programs and features" and uninstall all toolbars that you can find?  Also see the 'Manage Add-ons' in IE /Tools, if they are not listed in programs and features.   Start again with a clean sheet.  My advice is to simply use what is available in the IE search box, top right and set it to Google (default).  Toolbars just to take place and I'm not a big fan of them.

• How can I remove bookmarks on my toolbar when the "bluestar" is not turned on? (Ditto for the button 'delete' in the menu library).

  Dear Sir/Madam
  I had a quick glance at your solutions page and have tried to use all of the tips suggested however, when I try to remove three items on toolbar, none of them illuminate the "BlueStar" located next to their address. (I got rid of other elements). I also tried to remove the Firefox menu library items, however, the button delete them is not on either. I'm now concerned that items are spyware. I thought to reinstall the software, but it would mean losing all my favorites.

  For your information, I've just updated Firefox to 28.0.

  I would appreciate your help with this matter.

  Kind regards

  Good to hear! I think you should be able to use the trackpad however. I think I remember to make it work on Mac a friends (first one I've listed below, in this web page)-use two fingers and tap the trackpad. I think you might have to watch that you don't type it too lightly, or he doesn't know what you're trying to do.

  On this second which says to use the CTRL, to my memory, the Mac is not that (it does now, maybe)... I think I had to use a different key that was downstairs left... Google Images, I see that there are four: fn, control, option, command... If the control key does not work, my next guess would be to use the option or command key. It's easy to see which experience.

  If you press and hold the function key, and then regular - click on the bookmark you want to delete, isn't that bring up the contextual menu? It's rather than just giving the bookmark two fingers tap.

  • * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

  Use the tap two fingers on the trackpad, not a click, just a light tap with two fingers.

  • * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

  If you have a mouse with a button, hold down the CTRL key, and then click the mouse button.

  If you have a magic mouse, press and hold the mouse on the right side.

  • * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

  Otherwise, go to system-> Trackpad-> Point & Click Preferences and select your preferred option for "secondary click."

• I did something and now a Bing toolbar is stuck on my browser, as well as the upper toolbar with 'file, tools, help' and stuff like that disappeared. What should I do?

  I download something, and he pushed the stupid Bing toolbar, I can't delete now. Also, I accidentally deleted the toolbar at the top of the browser with «file, help, tools, ect.» I'm kind of technologically with faculties impaired, if you haven't noticed.

  You can hide the menu bar in Firefox 3.6 on Windows, on "view > toolbars" or via the contextual right click menu on a toolbar.
