How to maually uninstall Hotbar( Removal Hobar)

In addition I am discuss about how to Remove Hotbar, it Should be removable from 'Add/Remove Programs' on the Control Panel, under the name 'HotBar' or 'Web Tools by Hotbar'.

Version 3 of the software leaves some mess at the back in the registry, which can be cleaned up by running regedit and deleting these keys :

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Hotbar HKEY_USERS\\.DEFAULT\\Software\\Hotbar HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Hotbar HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Microsoft\\Internet Explorer\\Toolbar\\B195B3B3-8A05-11D3-97A4-0004ACA6948E HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Internet Settings\\User Agent\\Post Platform\\Hotbar 3.0

You can also delete the 'HotBar 3.0' string from HKey_Current_User\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Internet Settings\\User Agent

In general we strongly recommend to use a anti spy software to remove hotbar or other spyware as manually uninstalling and editing can seriously hurt your system.
