I need help!

#1 Postby mobilebay » Fri Jul 01, 2005 12:27 am

Could someone please explain to me how to get Spyware off of my Internet Explorer. It has completely shut down my Explorer. I've been using Firefox. I remember Chad saying one time to delete Explorer and reload it. How do you do this? It is so bad when I open the browser it goes to pop ups and won't let you do anything on it. Please help!

I believe you can run your computer in safe mode and then run your spyware program.

Spyware is the devil. :grr:

Have you tried a scan to find the spyware and then delete it in safe mode? If you already have a program, you won't need Internet Explorer.

http://www.spybot.info/en/index.html Spybot search and Destroy

http://www.emsisoft.com/en/ A squared free version

Go to these websites and download these programs. Install and run one or all of them one at a time. They all remove spyware.

IE is a joke and very unsecure!
