Recently an app, "Ne" started loading when I activate IE5.5 SP2. This app causes popups, a pain, also I have noticed the unit gradually slows down.

I have searched the registry and System.Ini for "Ne" with no avail.

Pop-ups and Spam, and Spyware, and all the other nasty names they all go by, that we do not want on our computers are not always as easy to find just by searching our registries. They are in the registry most likely, but usually under a differentname, or non-obvious name.

Have you already downloaded Ad-aware? It is shaping up to be like the program of the year I think, and it is free....it works well, and will remove most, if not all Unwanted junk off of your PC:

Also, invest into a good Pop-up stopper program, as the free ones will let you down from time to time. I personally like AdSubtract Pro. Great program

Hi
Try this solution from MS KB.

You can disable Active Scripting in Internet Explorer. You might not want to use this method, because it prevents other scripts from running. This might cause many Webs sites to be displayed incorrectly.

To disable Active Scripting for all Internet sites:
Start Internet Explorer.
On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
Click the Security tab.
Click Internet, and then click Custom Level.
Under Active Scripting in the Scripting section, click Disable.
Click OK.
Click OK.
You can also set the Active Scripting setting to Prompt, which will cause you to be prompted whether to enable or disable each script that is loaded from a Web page.

There are many third-party programs that are designed to prevent pop-up and pop-under windows from being opened. These programs may cause side effects, such as preventing a Web site from opening a new window or other script-related problems. Microsoft does not support the installation, functionality, or use of any such third-party programs.
