IE7 add-on help

I've noticed a couple of add-ons with the following type of names -
(3f45de-9e22- and another one. They are Browser extensions.
Is there anyway I can find out what this is? If I disable these how can I
get it off my computer?
I'm running Vista Home Premium SP1 with all the secuirty udates.

Thanks

Hard to guess what they might be since you only gave an abriviated
"Name"(and only for one item) and the "Type" Browser Extension.

Without the full Name, Publisher, Status, Type, and File(.dll, .ocx) it
would only be guess work. Have you tried Googling using the full Name of
the Browser Extension or the File name associated with it as the search
criteria?

Usually by uninstalling the software program that added the Browser
Extension.


Good luck,

Hi,
Search for info on the add-on via live.com, google.com or another search
engine.

Thanks Donald and Don

Here are the exact add-ons
(925dab62-f9ac-4221-806a-057bfb101raa)
(f72a7b0e-0dd8-11d1-bd6f-00aa00b9zaf1)

Sorry I did not post this earlier. I searched the internet and it seems most
of the people ran - hijack this.
It shows that the (925dab62.... entry is for an "extra button". There is
nothing so far on eliminating it or telling me what it is.
I'll keep looking.

I'm still looking for the (f72a7b0e entry.

Try ToolbarCop (freeware): http://windowsxp.mvps.org/toolbarcop.htm
"Using ToolbarCop to remove the unwanted Toolbands, Toolbar icons and
Browser Helper Objects".

Thanks. I ran Toolbarcop and they are "n/a nams & filenames". I get an error
when I try and "X" them away. That may be because I'm running Vista not XP.
Do u know of a way I can get rid of them without going into the registry?

Forget my last post. I ran it as an admin and that got rid of it. Thanks for
your help.
