How to Uninstall Kiwee Toolbar
The Kiwee toolbar is a special browser application that allows you to use premium emoticons in your e-mail and forums you visit. However, the Kiwee toolbar can be a real drag on your bandwidth, not to mention your CPU, and some users have even reported traces of spyware on their computer after installing the Kiwee toolbar. And to make matters worse, you can't uninstall it using traditional methods. Fortunately, there is a workaround you can use to get rid of this pesky toolbar.

Download and install the Unlocker program. This program is designed to combat aggressive programs that do not allow you to tamper with them due to error messages like "you do not have access to this folder."
-
2
Locate the folder where the Kiwee toolbar is stored. If you installed it using the "automatic" configuration, the program is in the "Program Files" under "Kiwee Toolbar 2". If you used manual configuration, must remember where you saved it or use the Windows search function.

Right click on the program folder and then click "Unlocker" on the sub-menu that pops up. The folder will now be accessible

Right click on the folder again and select "delete" from the sub-menu. A few prompts may appear asking you if you really want to delete the software. Click through these prompts to finish the deletion process.

Restart your computer. Although the toolbar should not show up in your files any more, it is important to restart your computer to finalize the process.
