Removal
Should be removable using the Control Panel Add/Remove Programs
entry for the program it came with (for example 'IconForge';
you can download a clean version of IconForge directly from
CursorArts instead if you like).
Manual removal
Look for the Wazam.com folder in Program Files. For the variant
distributed with IconForge this may be in 'C:\Program Files\CursorArts\IconForge\Wazam.com
Toolbar'. This path may vary for different drives, Windows
installation languages and variants of Wazam, so if yours
is different you will have to change the command below to
match.
Open a DOS command prompt window (from the Start Menu, choose
the 'Accessories' submenu in 'Programs' to find this), and
enter the following commands:
cd "%WinDir%\System"
regsvr32 /u "C:\Program Files\CursorArts\IconForge\Wazam.com
Toolbar\SBar.dll"
Restart Windows and you should be able to delete the entire
Wazam.com folder. You can also delete the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SBB
to clean up if you wish.
