Somebody put unwanted links on my favorites menu and I
cannot delete them. At least not permanately. I delete
them and when I come back to the menu they are back. Also
I don't have a general tab on my internet options menu.
Can anyone tell me how to correct these problems.
 
This problem may be caused by a program that is installed on your computer
when you download another program from the Web and install it on your
computer. These programs are typically referred to as <Adware> or
<Spyware>.

To resolve this problem, you must remove the offending program. However,
many of these programs can be difficult to remove. You can use a Spyware
or Adware removal program to remove the offending program from your
computer.

Some Spyware or Adware can be removed by antivirus software. Contact the
manufacturer of your antivirus software for more information about removing
Spyware and Adware.

two free adwear removal apps are:

Spy-Bot Search & Destroy available free here:
http://www.safer-networking.org/
This is the App I use.

Ad-Aware, this is the link to there free product
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/
Some people say this produce has its own tracking function and should be
avoided
they also have some versions that are for sale.

These people have a free download that will search your PC but will not
remove anything found

From what I've read this productr is very agressive and works well, I do not
own or use it. Can be purchased for $29.99 here:
