tlpresn Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 OK, so CCleaner inserts the Yahoo toolbar. How do I get it under control? First, it somehow hijacked by toolbar settings so that in View\Toolbars, I can only turn my Google toolbar on or off by clicking on the words "Yahoo! toolbar" and Yahoo is activated/deactivated by the word "Google." Things weren't like this before CCleaner was installed. Second, when I try to deactivate the Yahoo! toolbar, it's pretty much impossible. I turn it off and check "Lock the Toolbars," and next time I go anywhere near CCleaner or its website [and who knows where else yet], there's that damn Yahoo! toolbar again. Like I said above: How do I get this back under my control? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted August 12, 2006 Moderators Share Posted August 12, 2006 From now on just visit the official CCleaner download page located at http://www.ccleaner.com/downloadbuilds.asp and download either the Slim build (English language only), or Basic build and you won't have any Yahoo! Toolbar. If you don't want the Toolbar on your system just uninstall Yahoo! Toolbar from Add or Remove Programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyKlein Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 IE toolbars do often get mixed up due to minor corruption of the related Registry keys. It is not particularly a CCleaner or Yahoo toolbar issue. I suggest you FIRST close all browser windows (important), then uninstall BOTH CCleaner and the Google toolbar Reinstall the Google toolbar, then (assuming you prefer CC without Yahoo!) go here and download and install CC Basic which does NOT contain the toolbar. Tell us how that goes. Whoops, our posts crossed, Andavari... Tony CLSID List - A Collection of Autostart Locations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnr Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 From now on just visit the official CCleaner download page located at http://www.ccleaner.com/downloadbuilds.asp and download either the Slim build (English language only), or Basic build and you won't have any Yahoo! Toolbar. If you don't want the Toolbar on your system just uninstall Yahoo! Toolbar from Add or Remove Programs. I have downloaded the latest CCleaner version without Yahoo Toolbar, but still cannot uninstall the Yahoo Toolbar which I mistakenly downloaded with the CCleaner version before that one. Now how do I uninstall it? It is impossible to do it through Add/Remove Programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators hazelnut Posted November 5, 2006 Moderators Share Posted November 5, 2006 Sometimes the toolbar can be removed by redownloading it and then uninstalling. A corrupt uninstaller sometimes prevents uninstall. Welcome to the forum by the way!

ksknives Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Go to your Add/Remove Control panel and Remove Yahoo Toolbar.. If you want the Yahoo Toolbar back on your computer just go to the Yahoo.com web site and reinstall it. KSKNIVES KSKNIVES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi all, I'm new to the forums but have been using CCleaner for some time now. I love it! My problem is the same as Johnr's post. I cannot remove the toolbar and have tried reinstalling the older version of CCleaner and searching for the actual yahoo toolbar. I'm surprised that CCleaner is not adding it to the remove list. I quite disappointed as I usually brag about how good CCleaner works. Any other ideas on how to remove this unwanted toolbar? Thx in advance.

Moderators rridgely Posted March 7, 2007 Moderators Share Posted March 7, 2007 Download hijackthis and do a scan. Then look in the log at your 02 entries. Any with yahoo put checkmarks next to and then press "fix checked". That will at least get it out of your browser. Then delete the file for yahoo toolbar in C:/program files. Then run CCleaner "issues" to clear the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
