Manual removal of isearch tips from the net: (I just never seems give up so easily)

Manual removal
Please follow the instructions below if you would like to remove ISearch Toolbar manually. Please notice that you must follow the instructions very carefully and delete everything that is mentioned. In most cases the removal will fail if one single item is not deleted. If ISearch Toolbar remains on your system after stepping through the removal instructions, please double-check by stepping through them again.

1. Start the registry editor. This is done by clicking Start then Run. (The Run dialog will appear.) Type regedit and click OK. (The registry editor will open.)

2. Delete 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE \ Classes \ CLSID \ {1C78AB3F-A857-482e-80C0-3A1E5238A565}', if it exists.

3. Delete 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer\Browser Helper Objects \ {1C78AB3F-A857-482e-80C0-3A1E5238A565}', if it exists.

4. Delete 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\{1C78AB3F-A857-482e-80C0-3A1E5238A565}', if it exists.

5. Delete 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\WebBrowser\{1C78AB3F-A857-482E-80C0-3A1E5238A565}', if it exists.

6. Exit the registry editor.

7. Restart your computer.

8. Start Windows Explorer and delete:
%SystemDir%\toolbar.dll
