right click menu

[ben]

When i right click anywhere on the internet, a dropdown
menu appears from my mouse. In that menu is all the
normal things like print and refresh, but below that are
links to other sites. I do not know how they got there,
but i want to getrid of them, but do not know how. Please
help me.

Ben,
Manual removal:
To remove an entry from the IE context menu, run regedit and navigate to
this key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ Internet Explorer\ MenuExt]

Your entry will be a subkey of that key. Select the MenuExt key and export
it (just to be safe) Then select the unwanted subkey and delete it.

Toolbar Cop from http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/ can remove many add-ons of
this type.

You should also suspect the presence of other unwanted files or programs and
run (at least) these two programs:
Ad-aware from http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/
Spybot from http://security.kolla.de/
Both should be updated before use.
