Undesireable web sites appear if i heit search, but they
are not showing otherwise in history hafte I cleard
istory. Cannt delete them individally. Did a search
using all sorts of different key words and can find no
folders or ahywhere where these appear. I think I may
have corrupted directories?
I wanted to reinstall IE 6 but I get nervous when I have
toget into directories and make the changes per MS
knowledge base doc TT1070215.
I can follow explicit directions if somebody could tell
me step by step where to go and what to do. I did the
sfc /scannow and it did not fix the problem, so I think I
need to replace IE 6 if I can.
It is possible you may have parasites, spyware, adware or
malware on your system causing the problem. Download,
install, update the programs to be sure they have the latest
definitions, then run the programs below. They are free and
very effective.Be sure to run both SpyBot and Adaware, as
what one does not detect the other may. You may also have
a hijacker. It is important that you follow all directions carefully:
