I have three toolbars installed on IE8-Yahoo (to the right of the address
box), and Google and AVG below the address box.

I want to uninstall the Yahoo toolbar but how? It is not listed under
'Add/Remove' programs and there is a magnifying glass and arrow to the right
of this toolbar that says 'Manage search providers' so I removed Yahoo
toolbar from there but it is still showing.

I uninstalled Yahoo messenger (since the toolbar was included during the
Messenger install so it would be removed by deleting Messenger) but it is
still there.

I know that for AVG toolbar, AVG has to be uninstalled and installed again
'without' the toolbar option and Google toolbar is easy to uninstall as well
but I am stumped by Yahoo.

Any ideas?

Did you opt to install the Yahoo-customized version of IE8?

Which version of the toolbar do you have?

There is a tool "safe360" can help you remove any IE add-in you don't want.

And there's nothing name "Yahoo" in Add/Remove Programs now?
