I am using IE8; OS is XP SP3.  I keep getting a request to add on the "Blekko Search Bar."  I have already tried the standard uninstall from Manage Add-ons; it didn't work.  I also deleted 3 folders after searching my PC using the term "Blekko."  How do I (completely) remove this unwanted Blekko toolbar?  Thanks!

The Blekko toolbar monster is back!  When I open IE8, the message "A program on your computer has suggested a different search engine," or something very close to that.  I followed Blekko's online instructions to remove the toolbar.  It worked - for a while.  Now it's back.  Aside from what I have done (read 1st paragraph), I also uninstalled IE8, then reinstalled it.  That didn't work either.

Somewhere on my PC Blekko has a file, or files, that are causing this to happen.  I need to know the name(s) and containing folder(s) so they can be manually removed.

Thanks in advance, Terry

This just worked for me after I tried everything else written on the web!

IE

Click on the the "Gear" in the upper right hand corner of your IE browser and "tools" will be highlighted, click on it.

Click on "Internet Options"

Click on the "Programs" tab

Click on "Manage Add Ons"

Find blekko in the list of "Search Providers" on the right side and click on it

Click on "Remove"

X out of this screen

Now click on the "General" tab

Highlight and remove blekko in the Home Page area and type in the URL of the home page you want.

Click "Use Current" button,

Click "Apply"

Click "OK"

Now you're done.
