Google toolbar

Hello folks!

Today I ran into a serious problem. Recently I installed some updates for divx player and it included some google desktop... whatever that is. It became an annoiance and so I uninstalled it through add or remove programs. But today out of nowhere there is this google toolbar on my firefox browser window. The probblem is, I already have one included IN the firefox. And besides I don't want half of my screen being filled with various toolbars... So I checked the add/remove programs again and found it, uninstalled it and nothing changed, its stuck on my firefox like a leech!
How can I uninstall it? Losing it would be good, but it is better if I get it completely out of my precious computer.

And what the hell is msn sign-in assistant?

I just hate it when those tiny upgrades and add-ons pile up and finally flood my computer so it becomes a real mess when you want to find anything.

Thanks!

Run ad-aware, it should get rid of most of the junk.

You might be able to remove the Google toolbar via the Firefox add-ons dialog (Tools -> Add-ons).

Google toolbar raped all of my mothers.

Ah, tools->add ons helped.

Thanks, Tube!

But now another thing came into my mind. Why not clean all the unnecessary tabs:

Toolbar in red line is definately a waste of good space, help me how to remove it. Add ons or options obviously didn't help.

I use Opera because of such things happened to me and I got bored of removing them. I know that everyone prefers something but consider starting to use Opera, it is very similar to Firefox and better to customize...

Ah, view menu helped. Easy as a pie if I only had been a bit smarter
