Smiley Central

[John]

My daughter visited a website and now we keep getting
something called Smiley Central that loads when I bring
up IE. I reset the homepage but still Smiley Central
keeps coming up. Does anyone know how to get rid of this?

Thanks in advance.

John, dig through this lot and you will be able to stop this happening in
future. Sorry it's a long list but it's no use just getting rid of this
today and having it back tomorrow ...

go to safer-networking.org and down load spybot and
install. update,, and scan.. everything shown at end of
scan generally safe to delete. but keeps backups in case
you have a program that relys on spyware to operate. and
kills your bad cookies too. and don't click on popups, just
the x in the top corner to close.
