There is a host of web urls in my Favorites menu of IE but they do not appear in my Favorites folder. I did not put them there and I cant find a way to delete them. The same urls appear on each users settings. Urls are for online gaming, viagra, and all sorts of other stuff.
Pop-ups started to appear when I opened a virus-scanned mail from a friend. It contained a .gif called "amish" and a message to say that I had downloaded the "amish virus". An internet search revealed that this was just a hoax and Microsoft help said I should delete the mail. Which I have done.
I have disabled all toolbars except for Yahoo. I have run Webroot Spysweeper, Norton System Works and McAfee Adware removal.
If I can locate the file where these urls are maybe the pop-ups will go away but I dont know where it is.
Please can anyone help?!
I have popups disabled but they still come up. Help?
Sounds like you are talking about history -- a list of web sites you have visited. If you want to clear this out, daily:
From Int. Exp.:
cl Tools
cl Internet Options
Clear History
set days to store pages in history to 0
When you shutdown, your history will be emptied. When you power-on, it will build up, but will clear again at shutdown.
You may also want to shut off "autocomplete" so your passwords are not saved:
cl Tools
cl Internet Options
cl Content tab
