The free utility is you.

It depends on the browser. Try to move your mouse over a tool bar and then right click, sometimes doing that will display a choice of which toolbars to show or not show.

On Firefox, click on View, then Toolbars.

Post back if you're still working on it. There's no need to actually delete unused toolbars, they do no harm just sitting on your PC. I'm thinking you just want to customize what's visible and what's not?

Are you talking about the type of crappy or annoying toolbars that don't come with a browser, but that get downloaded accidentally with other software, or as malware, and then clog up your browser?

ravencajun, I have uninstalled FF and rebooted, two times. It still happens. I found this in my advanced system information, under view the error log. ( The IP address lease then my IP numbers follow for the network card with network address then more numbers has been denied by the DHCP server then my IP address.)The DHCP server sent a DHCPNACK message) Also another one that said- (Your computer has lost the lease to it's IP address then my IP numbers on the network card with network address then more numbers.) Thanks for taking the time to read this.

yes I had posted a warning about that some time back, we must be extremely diligent these days any time we choose to install anything because even good reputable companies are trying to hoist that junk on us with pre selected items. You can remove it via the Windows control panel, add/remove program dialog. In the list you should find ZA Spy Blocker and also "ZoneAlarm toolbar: If you install ZoneAlarm and do not uncheck the "Spy Blocker" toolbar option, the Spy Blocker toolbar for IE and Firefox will be installed, which includes the Ask.com searchbar. To remove this toolbar, click on the ZoneAlarm logo in the toolbar to open a drop down panel that includes an uninstall function."

Imagine that. Saved by SPAM. This is just what I needed today. Lost back/forward buttons, toolbars, the whole mess. * Posted by mikie (My Page) on Wed, Sep 8, 10 at 8:55 Looking at my IE8. . I have no menu's .. that's the way I like it.. press ALT and it shows up. The setting for that is View / Toolbars ... then some checkmarks next to what you want showing. Perhaps look in there. Thanks, Mikie. Alt got them back and View/toolbars fixed the rest.

I don't think there is a single program devoted to toolbars like that. I avoid any additional toolbars that aren't part of the browser. You could go into the Control Panel, and see if any of them are listed there and remove them. Also, below is a link that helps with removing unwanted toolbars from Firefox.
