    I followed your instructions to uninstall Linkbury Smartbar but it didn't work properly. To completely remove Linkbury Smartbar from your computer you have to go to Control Panel, Add Remove Programs, Select Linkbury Smartbar, Click Uninstall, when prompted allow Linkbury to make changes to your computer, Select Custom changes, then select Completely remove Linkbury Smartbar from your computer. This is the only way to uninstall in permanently.
