How do I remove Yahoo! Toolbar for Internet Explorer?

Note: Depending on the version of the Yahoo! Toolbar that is installed, you may require Administrator privledges to remove the Yahoo! Toolbar. In the event that you are unsuccessful, please contact the ISS Help Desk at 202-994-5530 to request assistance.

There are two ways to uninstall the Yahoo! Toolbar for Internet Explorer.

Option 1: Via the Toolbar

  1. Click the Pencil menu.
  2. Select "Uninstall" from the Pencil button (Toolbar Settings).
  3. 3. Click "Uninstall" on the uninstall page.
  4. 4. Restart your browser.
When you restart Internet Explorer, Yahoo! Toolbar will no longer be present.

Option 2: Via the Control Panel

  1. Click the Windows "Start" button.
  2. Select "Control Panel" from the "Settings" menu.
  3. Double-click on "Add/Remove Programs."
  4. Scroll down and click on the "Yahoo! Toolbar" entry.

Yahoo! Toolbar is now uninstalled. Start IE again after closing all your open IE browser windows and it will no longer be present.

If you follow these steps and Yahoo! Toolbar is still present, make sure you have closed all your open IE browser windows. Due to Internet Explorer being integrated with Windows, you might need to restart your computer to fully uninstall Yahoo! Toolbar.
