    To uninstall the DesktopSmiley Toolbar, you may go to Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs. Select DesktopSmiley Toolbar and click Remove. The DesktopSmiley Toolbar uninstaller will then be called out to perform the un-installation.

    Some of these programs introduce virus into your computer so also scan your PC using your antivirus program.

    DesktopSmiley Toolbar is only compatible on Internet Explorer version 6 or up. You may select View and then Tools, and see if there is checked on DesktopSmiley Toolbar entry. If there is not tick sign besides, please check the DesktopSmiley Toolbar entry and it will show up.

    There are many similar stuffs like MyWebSearchBar, MyScreenSaver, SmileyCenter, etc which distribute spyware and adware. Do not download any screensaver, search toolbar unless it is from trusted source...
