...Very helpful! Thank you so much for providing these instructions. I was having major frustrating issues(such as some of my settings like my 'home', 'search', etc. pages all of a sudden being changed) and figured out it was possibly linked to a program(..turns out I was right btw), one that was unknown to me, called "Music Toolbar For Internet Explorer Dist. by Koyote". This page strongly helped confirm by suspicions and showed me how to rid myself, or my computer I should say, of this program and has been a huge help. ...Thanks again :)!
