opening explorer

[stjerts]

Every time I open explorer it defaults to a page
thesten.com and places porn into favourites. How do I
solve this problem

Sounds like you've got some SpyWare - it's software that
unscrupulous companies use for advertising. Download a
cleaner like SpyBot (I've found it works best) and run the
search for problems and then the clean function. You
shouldn't have any problems after that.

Thanks. It cleaned up the system but didn't cure the
problem. Should i re insall explorer
