Trying to remove the hotbar completely from the PC (including the registry). We are using an .exe provided by Hotbar and also removing from Add/Remove Programs but cannot get it removed from the Registry.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Evidently you aren't the only one having this problem. I found these message boards - maybe it will help.

Thomas:

I had Hotbar quite a long time ago and was successful using the uninstaller along with deleting the keys from the registry. I don't know how familiar you are with the Registry; you may want to download and install either (I use both) AdAware or Spybot Search & Destroy.

Run the Hotbar uninstaller, remove/opt out of the mailing list(s), then run AdAware and/or Spybot S & D to remove the rest of the files.

I did both, then looked for any registry keys, using the Find feature, with hotbar as the search term. I just deleted each registry key I found.

Make a backup copy of your Registry, BEFORE you do anything to it. This way you can restore your registry if you make a mistake. Be very careful with the Registry. Post back if you're not sure how to make a backup of it - let us know which OS (Operating System) you are running - Win95, Win98, WinXP...etc.

Hello Thomas
Welcome to the Pool
I see from your first posting you have been having a tiny bit of trouble with HotBar
This is a nasty piece of software. We,(Byter & Myself) have dealt with it recently on these boards (twice and won ) Took a week (first time)and a few hours next time.
The story on how we did it,plus all the removal instructions & more links is on This Link
Byter calls it "That Stinking Monkey"
