cleaning the computer...HOW DO I DO IT!?!! Heres what I mean..a while ago my sis had a guy stay over..since im nosy me, I go and check hte history(DELETED) but he forgot the temp internet files and cookies!! heh heh he...so yeah..he was checkin out porn, but heres the deal.

You know how when you type in the URL for a site, IE tries to finish it for you right? Well whenver I type w I get www.whitecottonpanties.com....and when i type s I get www.seductivemoveis.com..and whenever its a t I get www.terra.es.bla.bla.. U get the deal Ive tried everything I can think of to solve this...even some of those proggies from downloands.com to clean up after you.

HOW DO I GET RID OF IT? Do I need to reinstall IE?

hehe dude leave it to me

ok heres the deal. get a program called "evidence eliminator" from http://www.evidence-eliminator.com/ Trust me, this program rocks at cleaning up stuff. it even makes ya pc run faster, and thats from personal experience

run that... but if u got msn it wipes your list ;(

if u dont want to do that, try going to tools --> options --> clear history, and also in that same window "delete files", and check "offline content". if that dont work, go to c:\windows\ and delete the entire "temporary internet files" directory.

check your favourites, and delete anything that u dont want (that's where those autocomplete "whitecottonpanties.com" and shit comes from.

also, get this program called ad-aware and run that, it will catch the sex counter cookies and crap

next time, get him to use navigator and uninstall it after he leaves

hope it helps, but this is by no means complete.

if u need the ee crack, pm me :0 (but u didnt hear it from me did ya eh?)

if u dont wana use a proggie, this is what i do, not that i go on porn, just like to clean the whole comp out every now and again.

1. open IE and tools>options>delete files and then all offline content.

2. delete the history from that dialog aswel.

3. C:\temp, just delete all that neway, doubt there'll be nething in there tho.

4. C:\windows\temp, delete all that

5. C:\windows\temporary internet files, delete all them

6. C:\windows\recent, delete all, this is a hidden folder to u'll have to have ur settings to show them. (view>folder options>view)


8. delete nething sex releated in ur favorites folder (c:\windows\faveorites)

9. might aswel clear out the documents in the start menu aswel!

thats what i do and it clears the whole comp out!
hope it helps!

Failing all of the above try using a cleaning agent such as Ajax to get rid of unightly stains...

Get Window Washer v4 from here, excellent little prog, and a nice GUI

U may also want to switch off activex downloading, as that can really mess up ur comp, and some are really nasty, I got mine on prompt
