Certain plug-ins won't give me the option of uninstalling them.

I want to uninstall this, but I can't click on "uninstall" for several of my plug-ins. This particular plug-in also does not appear in "About:plug-ins."

And also avast! WebRep, pdfforge Toolbar 4.3, RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin 1.1.5, and Widgi Toolbar Platform 4.3.

Some of the plugins probably come with other software. For example, RealArcade and RealPlayer Browser Record probably come with RealPlayer. If you fire up RealPlayer, it may have a settings dialog that lets you disable or remove those plugins; or it might not, I haven't checked.

For avast, I also would expect to find a setting inside the main avast program.

In other cases, you might need to visit the Add/Remove Programs control panel to remove the toolbar or other plugin.

You can disable/remove the "RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin" extension in the RealPlayer Preferences (RealPlayer: Tools > Preferences > Download & Recording)

I don't want to disable it. I want to remove it.

RealArcade didn't come with real player, I installed it much later.
