getting rid of menu item.

[Guest]

A menu item called "Main Links" has appeared on my IE6 menu bar (next to
"Help" menu) and I don't know how to get rid of it. This drop-down menu
contains links to gambling sites....must have entered the system via pop-ups
etc.

I would like to get rid of this menu item and will appreciate help from
anyone.

Thanks.

Joe

Hi Joe,

You can edit the registry manually to get rid of the 'main links' page, but
you're better off giving your system a thorough malware check. Check out
