One of my end users has an extra toolbar incorparated into IE5.5 called "starware toolbar". However, no icons appear on it. I'm assuming that its just another browser enchancement utility which I can easily uninstall. However, nothing alluding to "starware" or anything else unusual appears in the add/remove programs list. I've scoured the hard drive for anything relating to "starware" and have found nothing. I've also cleaned out all cookies and temp internet files to no avail.
I've tried going to starware.com, but, ironically enough, the site seems to be down (at least for the past 2 days).
Has anyone run into this that may have some suggestions on how to remove it aside from reinstalling IE?
PS: windows 98 os

many thanks

Starware (I think) is part of comet cursor, another pain in the A.
This has been proven to work well for removing Starware.
Visit http://www.macecraft.com and download a trial version of JV16 PowerTools V1.4. This will clean it from the registry.

Second, download ADAWARE from http://www.lavasoft.nu and scan the system for additional Spyware components to ensure the system is completely clean.

Should do the trick.

Good luck,
OM
