Deleting Favorites

[sheed1]

Sometimes when I delete favorites they return the next time I reboot.
Also, sometimes I will add a site to favorites and it will disappear
the next time I reboot. It doesn't happen with all favorites, but
enough to be very annoying. (I use Win XP and have no viruses or
spyware (according to Spybot, etc.).

Are you running Spybot v1.4 w/updated definitions?

Sometimes Spybot's not enough.

When all else fails, HijackThis v1.99.1
(http://aumha.net/downloads/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. **Post
