In Firefox, Tools>AddOns>Extensions, disable toolbar. Then uninstall. Close Firefox, go to Control Panel>Programs & uninstall. You may need select another search engine as the default first, I can't remember.
E&OE, etc.

Has anyone else noticed that the 'if you don't untick me boxes I'll install xyz toolbar/software at the same as I'm installing what you want' are getting more camouflaged and difficult to spot?

I have - you have to be dead careful. Sometimes you have to tick a tiny box to stop the wretched toolbar from being installed, sometimes you have to untick a ticked one, and you have to read what it says in tiny print very carefully!
I ordered a product advertised in the Daily Mail colour supplement about three months ago. I placed the order via t'internet and was meticulously careful to tick or untick boxes to ensure that my contact details were neither passed to other carefully selected firms who may wish to make me mailed offers, nor were they put on the firm concerned's database for the same purpose - I can read Daily Mail colour supplement adverts! In an appropriate time the goods were delivered, well packed and of appropriate quality, followed by a succession of junk mail from the firm advertising other products which were of no interest to me whatsoever. A pointed letter to their chief executive has now resulted in an apology and a promise that my name, which should never have been on their mailing list in the first place, has been removed.
Moral: If you don't want junk mail, don't respond to Daily Mail colour supplement adverts!
P.P.

I installed the latest VLC player (which has become ad-driven to some extent), carefully said 'NO' to all the 'extras' and still got them
