How to Remove a Gadget Bar

The Gadgetbar is a browser add-on for Internet Explorer that adds links to several different computer maintenance and protection tools to the top of the browser window. Additionally, through the Gadgetbar website, you can add additional features to the toolbar including applications for auction and travel websites. If you have tried the Gadgetbar and decided that it is not a browser add-on that meets your needs, the toolbar does not have to continue taking up space at the top of the window. You can remove the Gadgetbar toolbar through the Windows control panel.
