I've got a good one! Every time I right click on a web
page the "print, select, etc" a box comes up and down at
the bottom a selection titled <<<Free Porn Galleries>>>
comes up which if clicked on will open up a porn site. I
don't know if it does it all of the time, (not my computer)
and it is funny, but I can't seem to find out how to get
rid of it. It must be embedded in the registry somewhere.
Any ideas?
 
David;

Right click the IE icon | Properties | Advanced tab |
Make sure both of these are NOT checked.
