unwanted pic on my toolbar

Post Reply New Topic

Often download pics.

One picture I downloaded just showed up in minature on the google toolbar on the far right next to the mail symbol.

I have the same pic in a folder. Dont need it there. Didnt mean to put it there. Wouldnt know how to purposely install such a picture on the toolbar on purpose if I wanted to. But there it is. A tiny version of the photo with a number "14" as a caption. Apparently clicked something by accident that installed in there.

If you click the picture it appears in full size and blocks out the whole google screen.

It happens to be a less than socially acceptable picture to have on public view (atleast this is a home and not an office desktop computer- but still).

So how do I get rid of the darn thing from the tool bar?

Are you serious? Lmao!

Sounds like a porn toolbar. You'll go blind.

Need more data to tell you. what browser ?
And how do you have mail on a toolbar ? do you mean a bookmark toolbar ?

Its explorer.
An old version that my old computer can handle.

Going left to right in green icons the toolbar has the back arrow, and the forward arrow, the stop X, the refresh thing, the "home" house pic, autofill (looking like a pencil point), the printer symbol, and the mail envelop icon, and then (not in green but in living color) a teeny tiny version of this porno picture- with the number "14" in black under it (meaning image no. 14 from the site it came from or something).

I never used the mail nor any of the other icons - I get my mail on the desk top other ways. Though clicking does summon the mail (didnt know I could get it on the explorer google tool bar before).

Try right clicking on the picture on the toolbar and see if you can do something.
Trying right clicking on the other part of the toolbar and see if you can do something from there.

A good cleaner is http://www.piriform.com/CCLEANER This might allso help make the computer run faster be sure to backup when the program asks you if you want to.

After you get rid of the toolbar, I would suggest downloading a copy of Opera. If you're computer (age unknown) is fairly old, I would consider an older version starting from 8.5 upwards to the 9.6 series, available here
