SideStep Help

In some cases users contact us asking to uninstall when all they wish to do is disable the feature (Auto-Search) that causes SideStep to open when a search is performed at another site.

Below you will find the directions to disable Auto-Search as well as directions to uninstall SideStep completely.

To Disable Auto-Search

  • Open SideStep by clicking on the SideStep icon in your Start Menu
  • Click on the Preferences link
  • Uncheck the box next to Auto-Search
  • Click Save
Complete Uninstall

You can remove the toolbar from your Windows computer by selecting from the Start Menu:

Programs > SideStep > IE Toolbar > Uninstall

If you no longer have the toolbar on your menu, you can go into your Windows Control Panel and remove it via Add or Remove Programs.

If you still need help, contact SideStep and we'll be glad to assist you!
