Computer help

When I right click in Internet Explorer there are a bunch of links near the bottom, the top being >>>free porn galleries<<< then backward links, limeshop preferences and so on...

How do i get rid of these?

dl both, update both after install, then run both (one at a time)...

close IE before running either

It didn't work?

You did it that fast? Or did you already try it?

Try purging all your browser's temp files/cache. Then run both again.

Adaware's smart scanning mode does scan your cache files...

Then I have no idea, other than using Firefox.

Go with the opera or mozilla.

Though IE runs smoothest on the windows.

Luxury.. Basically your browser has been taken over. So you neeed "hi-jack this" its a program that cleans out your registry edit. Totally safe. Just run it and ignore the warning. Go to this link to download it.

yes, i suppose he's right, but i'd be suspicious about that "Just run it and ignore the warning" statement.

search www.groups.google.com for the links, maybe people asked about it already
