A coworker was looking on the internet about poker. Somehow partypoker.com got downloaded to the computer. I've removed most of the "program" and also ran Ad-aware/Spybot S&D. But under "Tools" in Internet Explorer, there it is. Is there any way to remove it from the tool menu?

To open the Registry Editor and find the key: 1.Click Start, and then click Run. 2.In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK. 3.When regedit opens, find a key that is called HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\InternetExplorer\Extensions When you have found this key click on the + next to it. One of the subkeys below that should contain the offending menu item. Just click on each item on the left and look for the menu item name on the right hand side as a value under "MenuText" On mine, the MenuText was called VisualRoute Trace. Yours should be the: SMS versenden I backed up the Extensions key by selecting it on the left, then clicking on File and Export. A new dialog pops up, and you save the selected branch somewhere that you can find it again. After it was all safe and backed up, I highlighted on the left-side, under Extensions, the key that contains the menutext for the item I wanted to remove. I hit delete and click Yes to confirm. After closing and reopening Internet Explorer, I went to the Tools menu-option and no more VisualRoute. As a bonus it also removed the icon that had been placed on the tool bar also. If you had an icon on the toolbar and wanted to leave it but just remove the Tools menu item... removing the two strings on the right hand pane by deleting MenuStatusBar and MenuText would accomplish this.

above is a way of removing it, but a different scenario, you know what I mean right. On mine, the MenuText was called VisualRoute Trace. Yours should be the: SMS versenden should be the text of your menu

I found a key in the registry, it had references to partypoker, so I deleted the whole thing. Now it's fixed Now I'll have to see what the other key in that same spot is for and possibly delete that too. Thanks alot...
