Having a lot of toolbars in browsers can be annoying and also can impact the overall web browsing experience. Many such toolbars are installed automatically with various apps (this is one reason to always choose custom setup when trying to install anything 🙂 ).
Toolbar Cleaner is a free app that removes all such unwanted toolbars and BHOs (Browser Helper Objects – dll files that function as plugins for Internet Explorer) from all the currently installed browsers just by a few clicks.
Download and install it from here.
Once installed, choose the “Toolbars/Extensions” section. This will list all the currently installed toolbars for all the browsers detected. Besides this, it can also remove unwanted apps/extensions in Google Chrome.
Select the toolbars that need to be removed and choose “Remove Selected Toolbar(s)/BHO(s).
Also, there are other features like choosing which homepages to set for each of the browsers present, emptying cookies and browsing history as well as managing startup items in Windows.
The overall feel of Toolbar Cleaner is very similar to CCleaner except that this primarily focuses on removing unwanted toolbars and tuning up browser settings.
Happy browsing!
