If you have already installed this toolbar and is unable to remove it, click here to use Adw Cleaner to remove it. AdwCleaner is a very small program and doesn't require any installation.

I do not recommend downloading and installing the HomeworkSimplified toolbar.

Hey, I want to thank you very much. Since 1/25/15 I have been trying to remove Homework Simplified from my computer, I used the AdwCleaner. It took care of it in less than 5 minutes (compared to my 18 days). Thank you again.

I installed this but when I was asked by chrome if I wanted to change my new tab to ask.com, I refused. I can't find any newly installed softwares in my computer. So I don't know if it installed anyway. how do I know?
