Hi, can anyone help me in removing these things?

Kelkoo shopper reports

It's in the view - explorer bars

I've been in and un-installed everything from the Control Panel but can't find this one.

There's another one click potato too which the spy hunter thing got and its disappeared from the bar at the bottom but if I click the little arrows at the top right hand side of the screen it's still there.

I bought the spy hunter thing because it found all that click potato stuff which was causing the pop ups (which have stopped now - except for the shopper one).

I've tried googling a bit but there's a lot of noise and I'm not sure the best way to proceed.

Answers for a non-technical person please? :D
 
Kelkoo is a legitimate (but annoying) web site. I say it's annoying because it tends to rank high on Google searches. If it's a toolbar in MSIE, you might wanna go into manage add-ons and remove it from there. I can't remember what add-ons are called in MSIE. Might be "Accelerators" or something like that.

Spy Hunter is a rogue antispyware program. I was removing it off customers' computers as far back as the mid 00s. I can't believe that one is still rearing its ugly head.

Do you use any antispyware programs? Google for MBAM (Malware Bytes Antimalware), as that's one of the more complete solutions for spyware removal.
