Yahoo toolbar, how to remove from IE?

[Poop Dogg]

Somehow the Yahoo toolbar got installed in my IE browser. I don't
remember consenting, but I may have inadvertently when I created
a recent disposable yahoo e-mail account.

Anyway, I just ran Ad-Aware 6 and removed everything it found, but
it didn't affect the toolbar. I've tried to move it far over to
the right but have found no way to disable it. I don't need it or
want it and I'm worried it's spying on me. How do I get rid of it?

Then near-certainly, you DID NOT consent, period. For consent to be
meaningful or valid, it MUST be fully informed, willful and knowing.

There is no such thing as "inadvertent consent". See above.
