-----Original Message-----
I am at a loose end. An unwanted URL has infiltrated my
Internet Explorer and I cannot get rid of it. Can you
help.
I do not know how it got onto my system and it replaces my
search engine almost everytime I boot up. The offending
URL is stopxxxpics.com. In addition, it downloads
shortcuts onto my desktop for adult websites.
Please help.
