Also found this page http://www.siteexperts.com/forums/vi...asp?d_id=14086 where someone was having the same prob

One of the replies was go to www.spywareinfo.com/articles/cws/ then go down to Removal Instructions - click CWShredder - save it then run it and they reckon that should clear your prob

Hi linzy...ive had these problems before...but when using Internet Explorer only...now i use Mozilla Firefox 0.9.3..Which is far more secure than IE.
I downloaded and installed Mozilla (Firefox) an also replaced Outlook with (Thunderbird)

These are the best Downloads of the century

Hi doing that just now

Thanx

Will i delete internet explorer now?

That would be a bad idea even if it was possible, there are some sites that you still need IE for. Windows Update is one of them.

Also Firefox 0.93 is pretty old now, just make sure that you've got Version 1.0

I've been using Firefox and Thunderbird for a while nopw and it is AMAZING!! the only thing IE was good for was popups - Firefox has an in-built pop-up stopper with the ability to allow for sites that are ok etc - It is also faster that IE becasue it is open-source which, i believe (colin will probabley correct me!! LOL), means that it loads all the information first and then loads in the pictures etc. This might be called something different. I would never go back to IE. But it is true you still need IE for a few things even though i have removed it from my Windows Components it still pops up when it is needed. Thunderbird is also a great Email Client and they are both skinable which appeals to the younger generation ii suppose.

'Open source' means that the source code is freely available. It has nothing to do with how the browser loads information.

I have just downloaded Firefox 1.0 (Linux version) and am quite happy thus far. Firefox seems to have all the features of the 'traditional Mozillas', and I didn't have the fonts problem I often get when upgrading or installing Mozilla. It has the same neat tabbed-browsing features of Mozilla 1.x and Netscape 7. Default keyboard shortcuts are Windows/IE style rather than traditional Mozilla/Emacs style, but a quick Google and desktop-preference edit cured that particular problem in two minutes.

There are lots of themes/skins as you might expect from Mozilla. I'm using some weird blue thing called curacao right now, but I'm not sure if I can stand this much blue for very long.

Best of all, Firefox starts a separate Acroread window each time I download a pdf file. I never could figure out how to do that with IE or Mozilla 1.4 and later. I think I might stick with Firefox for that feature alone.

Firefox is never old and firefox has the extensions an configurations needed in order to view certain sites.. an not forgetting to run windows update..

Infact i apolgise.. colin. windows update is integral to internet explorer..an vice versa...i made a mistake somewhere along the lines
