Internet Explorer 5.5 and popup banners

by moverby . Updated 24 years, 5 months ago

I have a user that has unwanted banners popping up on the computer during the day. The user does not have internet explorer open. I have not been able to determine how this is possible. We are using NAT on our firewall so his ip address is not published on the internet. The w/s is running NT 4.0 sp6a. It has a FAT partition instead of NTFS. I have deleted all the cookies and temporary internet files and the history, rebooted and it still happens. It seems to be happening every hour. I have alsochecked scheduler and found nothing.
Also does anyoine know how to get rid of the cached addresses in IE 5.5. Everytime I start typing an internet address it drops down with several pages that have the same starting address. I have deleted the history and they still show up.
Any and all help is appreciated.

Thanks, Mike
