Using Windows 98 for 4 years on this computer. Had
Internet Explorer 5.0 at first. Upgraded to 5.5 from AOL
CD. Worked great for 3 years. Recieved dodgy spam email
through netzero. Now Internet Explorer has an extra row of
buttons each time it opens. The buttons are links to porn
and gambling sites. One of the icons is a pair of breasts.
Also the home page got changed to "surferbar.com". When I
go to Internet Options to change the home page to an
alternate site and apply, "surferbar" reloads itself as
the homepage. I have tried removing IE 5.5 from computer
and downloaded IE 6.0 from Microsoft. But after over an
hour of downloading and installing, "surferbar" loaded
itself into IE 6.0. While online, an IE 6.0 window will
open unprovoked and try to find "surferbar.com" (which I
have set as a blocked site). Have severe security settings
to stop this site. Need to rid my computer of this menace.
Please advice. Which file do I need to delete and reload?
Where is this menace hiding in my computer?
