Unwanted Toolbars? Junkware Removal Tool

Unwanted Toolbars? Junkware Removal Tool

 

I dislike toolbars and their propensity to track you and who knows what else.

Many folks have a really tough time trying to remove them and their vestiges.

This tool works. You can read about it and download it here: http://thisisudax.org/

and there’s a review here:

There’s no choice about which to remove. It’s a “search and destroy” once you install and run it, it’ll search out the following toolbars:

  • Ask Toolbar
  • Babylon
  • Browser Manager
  • Claro / iSearch
  • Conduit
  • Coupon Printer for Windows
  • Crossrider
  • DealPly
  • Facemoods / Funmoods
  • iLivid
  • Iminent
  • IncrediBar
  • MyWebSearch
  • Searchqu
  • Web Assistant

What’s really nice is:

“When run, Junkware Removal Tool will remove all traces of these programs including their files, Registry keys, and folders.” - http://thisisudax.org/

Now some words of caution:

If you have toolbars from the list above and wish to remove them, you can try the tool, but first:

1. Make a restore point!

2. Make a backup!

 

That way, no matter what, you’re protected and a disaster will be averted.

Quoting Wizard1956, reply 25
I am beginning to think that installers/wrappers place things there even if you have opted out of any offered toolbars. Since I often try out free software, this is one tool that will get regular usage.

Ok, 2 minor beefs.

 

#1 - It apparently does not know about Palemoon.  That is my primary browser.  But it cleaned the others!

#2 - Too well apparently.  It does not like the logmein plugin.  No biggee there.  I just re-installed it.

 

Other than that, Looks great!  I am recommending to all my family.

@ Wiz: That's a possibility, Wiz. Registry keys might be installed without the files themselves...who knows?

@ Dr Guy: You're welcome, sir. :)
