Not going to review Foxit reader 4.0 as it released yesterday (will tell reason later in this post), some how crappy stuff like Foxit Toolbar powered by Ask.com being forced to install on users Computer along with Foxit reader 4.0.This toolbar appears in Firefox and in Internet Explorer.

Foxit software forces user to install Foxit reader in such a way that user must install Foxit Toolbar by clicking “ I Accept” button in the license agreement while installing it.I don’t want to install your toolbar give me the option to uncheck that feature before installing it.
I just don’t want toolbars to occupy space on browser, nobody for that matter we can give Google Toolbar exception since it offers lot of advantages.
To remove Foxit toolbar
1.Close all browsers opened if any specially Firefox and Internet Explorer.
2.In Windows XP go to Control Panel>add or remove programs select Foxit toolbar and click remove to uninstall Foxit toolbar.
In Windows 7 open Control Panel>Programs> Programs and Features>select Foxit Toolbar and click uninstall , click yes to uninstall Foxit Toolbar.
3.Foxit Toolbar will be completely removed from your Computer.
Despite the uninstallation, the ‘Foxit Toolbar’ still stays in CCleaner’s listed programs and apparently you CAN’T delete it from there: CCleaner warns that ‘you can’t delete MSI packages’ while I tried to remove it.
If you have uninstalled Foxit toolbar from your Computer then it will not be visible in browsers.
Check whether Foxit Toolbar still showing in add or remove programs , CCleaner may be falsely showing already uninstalled item in the list,CCleaner also gets this list from Windows built-in add or remove programs.
Thanks for your quick reply Venkat.
No, the Foxit Toolbar isn’t showing in my Add or Remove Programs, and I couldn’t find any traces of it in my registry… So you’re probably right that it’s CCleaner’s fault.
I am probably extremely late in saying this, but please note the “Decline >” button there. Clicking that skips the install of the Search Bar, but continues with the install of Foxit Reader.
removed a couple of Foxit things, using Add-Remove Programs (Window 7).
Unable to remove Foxit Creator Toolbar, as error message pops up, incessantly: “All Chrome browser windows should be closed…”
Of course, I had no browsers open, yet continue to get this message.
