seems I have been done by a ‘drive dy download’ I can’t fix.
I had some fun at some dodgy sites with loads of pop-ups and inadvertantly downloaded loads of their hidden programs. They are very clever but thanks to this site and Spy Sweeper software most of the intrusive programs are gone.
I just have one problem left.
The default url for IE6 is stuck at www.coolsearch.com, which I don’t want.
When changed in internet options, the change only lasts for that session.
re-opening the browser resets it to coolsearch.
coolsearches contact button doesn’t work.
very clever- i wonder how many of the inks from their site are affiliates.
I am none too pleased that they have invaded my browser to promote their rubbish but nevermind.
Spy sweeper has a facility for protecting the re-set url but how can i remove the problem altogether.
If somebody could post a reply to here for everybody, but also email me I will be your best buddy for at least one day.
Big thanks, and happy surfing!
I have placed this as a high pointer as nobody I know can solve it, AOL can’t do it, can you.
The challenge is to do it without a reinstallation of XP.
