Clear out your TIF, other temp files and ActiveX Controls. Open the Control Panel
- Internet Options. Under the General tab click the Delete temporary internet files,
choose to delete all Offline content. In Settings, set the size of your TIF folder
between 5 - 10 MB. Choose View Objects tab. On the toolbar, choose View Details.
Right click and remove ALL that aren't by MS, Macromedia or Apple. If any of those
are marked "damaged", remove them. Any and all ActiveX Controls, can be safely removed.
They'll be downloaded again as needed.
Also, go to Start - Find - Files or folders - in the named box, type: *.tmp and choose
Edit - select all - File - delete. Empty the contents of the C:\Windows\temp folder
and C:\temp folder, if you have one. Empty Recycle bin.
To help prevent further problems, I recommend SpywareBlaster. Be sure to check for
updates often and after you install it. SpywareGuard works well in conjuntion with
it and is available here also. They're both freeware: SpywareBlaster
