My IE 6.0.2800.1106, without being opened, somehow
automatically puts 2 pieces of spam DIRECTLY ON MY
DESKTOP when I log on. Currently they are
from "yourfreedvds.com". Netscape is my default
browser. Only use of IE is by McAfee to download their
antivirus update data files. I went nowhere near this
site or any related to it. Someone at Microsoft or Dell
may have set my IE Browser to do this when I boot up my
operating system. I have Windows XP installed on a Dell
Dimension 2350. How do I shut this feature off and stop
this spam?
