    Yes. If there's any remain, they are pretty much "offline" and do nothing but it's not a bad idea to get ride of them with Malwarebyte/Hitmanpro/Adwcleaner.

    Don't assume that lack of knowledge in what you assume is "basic" stuff means lack of knowledge elsewhere.
    God, i don't mind having to clean up viruses or anything, but fucking toolbars piss me the fuck off. I rember lookign at someone's compter and half of their fucking screen was toolbars. I was like "what the fuck". the only thing that pisses me off more is those who say that they need all those toolbars....

    http://unchecky.com/ is a nice program that's made specifically for all those unwanted toolbars and other programs that get bundled with programs you might want. It's not 100% perfect, but definitely helps.

    Most of mine came on a CD that came with the computer, otherwise I believe you would have to find out what kind of drivers you need and look them up, like what graphics card you have, what sound...card(?) you have, and what not.
