If it's not copy protected, then you can just use Handbrake directly on the Blu-Ray.
Those are good instructions. Rather than "MakeMKV", I use DVDFab HD Decrypter. which is also a free program.

How hard is it to remove a toolbar.
No, it's not that easy. CNET makes you load and run their "CNET installer", which then downloads the actual program (and installs crapware). Mind you, I've never fully installed something from CNET once I saw the need to run their installer.
