IM and tons of pop ups came on my screen. now that i got
rid of all the desktop icons that were installed on my
computer, anytime i want to right click anywhere on my

link from the menu?

Hi,
Close IE.
Run REGEDIT and make your way to this key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt]
Select that key then> Registry> Export. You'll have that key backed up if
you need to undo the registry edit.
Find your unwanted item as a sub-key of [Internet Explorer\MenuExt]
Note the name of a corresponding HTM file in the right pane (if present)
Delete the offending sub-key.
Close Registry Editor.
Find the HTM file(s) and delete them.

You probably have other adware/spyware/malware files on your computer. Try
these two (freeware) programs:
Spybot - Search & Destroy : http://security.kolla.de/
Ad-aware 6- Lavasoft: http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/

Visit http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/restricted.htm#Setting for some
recommended security settings.

Hope this helps,
Don
