Remove iMesh Toolbar and iMesh search bar (Uninstall Guide)

Don't Copy From This Blog...

iMesh is probably one of the oldest peer-to-peer file sharing network/software in the world. I'm sure most of you have heard about this software. Before taking a closer look at this P2P software, I think it's worth mentioning that iMesh is not a virus or any other type of malicious software that can infect your machine. However, some people find it difficult to completely remove iMesh from from their computers. Although, iMeshc can be easily uninstalled via Control Panel → Add/Remove (Uninstall), iMesh Toolbar and iMesh search bar must be removed separately. So, when you uninstall iMesh, you also have to uninstall a program called MediaBar. And that's not all, you have to restore your previous homepage and uninstall search provider(search.imesh.com) manually as well. Sounds qquite complicated. Besides, re-installing your web browser probably won't help either. And one last thing, it may add Emoticons for your messenger! icon/shortcut to your Desktop.
