Adaware and Spybot.

Also, for real IE sidebars that wont go away:
1) Close ALL IE sessions
2) Create a new IE session.
3) Close the offending item.
4) Close that IE session.
5) Continue as normal

It gets old? :blink:


Anyhow, make sure you have both of these installed:
Adaware: http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download/
Spybot: http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=mirrors

If you've got a genuine IE toolbar, the steps I gave should fix it.
If it's not a genuine toolbar then it's very likely spyware which adaware or spybot can remove.

This is unrelated to the rest of this thread, but the title of it fits

How can I get IE to always open its windows maximized?

Extract the attached file to your Windows directory.
Make sure maxie.txt points to where your Internet Explorer is installed.
Either: Change your IE shortcuts to point to the maxie.exe location
Or: type 'maxie [URL]' into the Start>Run dialog.
Will always launch IE in maximised mode.
