I installed Office 2010 and it came with an unwanted Browser Helper Object that was not anywhere in the installation options, and cannot be removed with any uninstall options, I even tried installing Office 2010 after removing Internet Explorer 11 entirely, then found it planted there again after subsequent reinstallation. It's hidden from Revo Uninstaller as well. I have Windows 10 home.

[Moved from: Internet Explorer / Internet Explorer 11 / Windows 10]

    I already disabled it. My Winpatrol got screwed up because of it. I renamed it to a .bak file to allow deletion without automatic replacement. I also renamed the resource .dll in the 1033 folder to enable removal as well. Penalty bloatware BHOs should not be forced on us.
