A little problem

Hello all,
I hope somebody out there can help me out as my wife is a
little peeved.
The thing is, I've used various search engines to look
for things, that she thinks, I shouldn't have. In
consequence when she, or I, type letters into search
fields some rather unsavoury, to her mind, words appear
in the drop down box.
If anyone could let me know how to get rid of
the "naughty" words, I will include you in my prayers.
In your debt.
Many thanks,
Corberro.

CoolWebSearch Chronicles & CWShredder
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/cwschronicles.html

Run in this order:

1. CWShredder (fix all)

2. Ad-Aware (fix all)

3. Spybot (generally, fix all in red)

Important: You *must* seek updates for Ad-Aware, Spybot, etc., before each
and every use, even "right out of the box". But even they can't catch
everything, 24/7. When all else fails, HijackThis
(http://www.merijn.org/files/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. **Post
your files to http://forums.spywareinfo.com/ or
http://forum.aumha.org/viewforum.php?f=30 for expert analysis, not here.**

[Alternate download pages for many of the above tools may be found at
http://aumha.org/a/parasite.htm.]

Also update your virus definitions and then run a full system scan. From
now on, do both daily.

So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?

Hi Corberro - Be sure to do the various things Bear suggested. In addition,
to address your specific issue:

To delete ALL Addresses in the Drop Down list, go here and download and
install Mike Burgess' DelTypedURL.inf at
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm See below for Selective Delete.

***********
You can also get DelSearchMRU.inf at
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/DelSearchMRU.inf
***********

Note: this does not remove entries entered via AutoComplete. To remove
hidden AutoComplete entries in History:
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm#AutoComplete


**************** IMPORTANT NOTE: Be sure that ALL instances of IE6 are
CLOSED before you do the install of this(these) .inf files.

A nice alternative just for selective or all Address (not Search) history
maintenance is EditURLs, here: http://www.aandrc.com/editurls/ Here also,
you must close ALL instances of IE6 for the deletions to "take".

Thanks for the advice but if that had worked, my better
half would still believe, that my Mouse was as pure as
