Getting rid of AOL toolbar


Question Posted Friday April 5 2013, 12:02 am

So, a while back, I installed something and somehow, an AOL toolbar got attached to this and is now constantly appearing on my browser. It's always changing my homepage and trying to make me use the AOL search engine and I do not want this.
I tried to go to the control center to uninstall it, but it's not available there. I also went to the Firefox add-ons section to see if I could delete it there, but I can't find anything.

Is there anyway to delete this? Because it's driving me insane.

Hi there,

Please make sure you first go here:

... and follow all the steps listed for your browser.

When it comes to removing this thing there are usually three parts:

AOL Toolbar

AOL Download Updater

Price Check by AOL

You are going to want to look for these in your add/remove programs area, as well as the firefox add-ons section.

Remove any of them that you see.

Make SURE to click on the toolbar's "edit" function, right beside the AOL logo, usually, and select "more" then uninstall.

That should be the end of it.

If not, let me know, and we will go from there.

Thanks,

DN.
