IE help please

[Katie]

I have IE 6 xp home with sp1 and 2. Also google tool bar installed.
When browsing I sometimes get a smaller window web page open with extra info
on it. This page won't expand by dragging the corners and the little
maximise square is greyed out. The window is full of info that is much too
big to be read in this small window, so I can't read all of it. How can I
expand this window so I can read the whole page?
Is it something that I have on my laptop or some sort of setting that is
preventing me from viewing the page properly?
Many thanks for any help.
Blondie

Hi,
This sounds like a badly done adware window. Have you checked for malware?

Try CWShredder, Ad-aware, Spybot and the other at programs named and
explained at http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm Also note the security
tips on that page.

Or, one of these free programs might make that window open maximized:
AutoSizer 1.4- http://www.southbaypc.com/AutoSizer/
IE New Window Maximizer http://www.jiisoft.com/iemaximizer/index.htm

Hope this helps,
