from what i have heard..... u cant uninstall IE because it is embedded into windows...... only way to get rid of it is to find where it is in the windows folder and delete it file be file..

That hotbar or whatever its called is spyware. You will have to use an anti spyware program such as Ad-Aware . Spybot is another great program against this. I dont know how it works in Windows 98, but its usually almost impossible do delete Internet Explorer, since its so integrated to the OS itself it would only cause problems. And reinstalling the OS is the best thing to do if you have a major issue you cant solve, or else try to solve the problem. HTH's
