Toolbar Cleaner

More and more websites available today automatically install various toolbars and browser plug-ins or add-ins without the user's permission. Some websites even do this completely silent, as no messages or pop-ups will be displayed on the screen. The same goes for trial or demo applications, which automatically install browser toolbars or even change the startup page. Sometimes, you cannot disable this feature during the installation process of the application. Most antivirus or anti-spam applications available on the market cannot deal properly with browser toolbars or add-ons and cannot remove them properly.

These toolbars not only that they slow down your browsing speed, but can also allow hackers to take over your computer or personal information and this is why it's crucial to remove them. An application which allows you to do just that is Toolbar Cleaner. As the name states, this Windows program was specially designed for removing any toolbar and add-on from most web browsers, like IE, Chrome or Firefox.

After launching the application, it will automatically detect all the toolbars and add-ons installed into your web browsers and will allow you to remove them with a single click. The user will just need to select the add-on or toolbar that he wants to remove and then click on the "Remove selected toolbar" button. In the shortest time possible, the selected toolbar will be completely removed from the program's website. In case the toolbar also has an uninstaller, Toolbar Cleaner will ask the user if he wants to open Add/Remove Programs and uninstall the toolbar, for making sure that all its files are removed.

Besides removing toolbars, Toolbar Cleaner can also remove startup items, helping you improve the startup speed of your Windows operating system.
