Toolbar Remover Apps and Alternatives

Some ad-supported applications offer to install third-party components such as browser toolbars.

Many of them take a sneaky approach so you end up with unrecognizable toolbars in Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer or another browser. Part of these toolbars are intentionally difficult to remove when trying to use the traditional method of uninstalling programs ("Add/Remove Programs"). Others even remain hidden to ensure their long stay on your computer.
