Does someone know how to get rid of favorites in IE6. They have made thier way to the top of my list and I carnt delete them. They are just links to casinos/games/movies and useless spam. Im hoping someone else has had this problem and remembers how they resolved it.
I ran reg mech,spybot and ad-aware and it didn't solve the problem. Maybe in safe mode?

I also checked the IE homepage but couldn't see anything that would help.
Or should I just dump IE and go to firefox. Im sick of exploits! oh and I have xp.

ummm... favorites>organize favorites *highlight* >delete

and yea, download firefox

I had tried that. I should have mentioned that they dont appear there.

Switch to Firefox. Less stress, no exploits

1.) go to C:\Documents and Settings\*User*\Favorites

2.) Delete unwanted favorites

3.) Make file read-only

4.) If all else fails, bitch about it

Thats Malware, look for a program called hijack this post a log and i'll tell u what files to delete. Good Luck

Yeah, I have that program.

Couldn't make a bit of sense out of it though...

It list all running programs and hooks into start-up and IE and stuff, just search around and you will be able to find site that explains what it all means. Its bloody great imo.

I like Spybot Search and Destroy myself...

I got firefox Ice Mist and its great. I also emailed the log to you NTD.
Just catch me online whenever you can with which logs to erase.

Ya know it's mYst, there's not I in my name :p

Uh, yes there is... (IceMyst)

Sweet, i'll let you know by wednesday (or before), sorry but i have uni exams, but i'll try and post back asap.

Yeah me too. I just had one and am suffering from lack of sleep for this almost over week. Which is what I blame for spelling Myst's name wrong. So I do feel your lack of time to do anything. However I will find the time to watch those 2 movies.

Hey, i have had quick look at it and it seems you have two big issues, new.net and a virus HLL.ow.Exe.4372. I'm seeking some more advise on what to do so just hang in there, i'll post soon mate. (1 more exam to go!!! YA, i can finally go out again!!)
