Remove ICQ Toolbar

This is an optional web browser add-in that provides additional ICQ functionality from the user's web browser. In addition the toolbar will provide the option to modify the browser's home page and search provider from the current user's default.

The toolbar also support feeds. Feeds are web pages that support RSS (Really Simple Syndication) technology that enables you to receive updates from your favorite web pages such as news, sports, and music, without opening them. By adding Feeds to your RSS Feeds Panel in your browser, you can view these pages without the need to surf to them.

Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The program adds a toolbar to Microsoft Internet Explorer. The primary executable is named ICQToolBar.dll. The setup package generally installs about 4 files and is usually about 1.43 MB (1,504,209 bytes).
