It's unsafe to use IE anyway. Use another browser.
I have been using Firefox for a couple weeks, and find
it works good enough. Millions of computers this last
month have downloaded trojans from infected web sites.
I spent 4 hours last night disinfecting a friends computer.
When done he could at least get on line without being
redirected someplace, but I doubt we found all the spyware. I had to use all the
well posted, tools. Updated
versions of Spybot, Adaware, CWshreader, Ran DELINDEX from boot floppy, to delete
all the hidden dat files. Deleted all the Cookies, and Temp internet files. Ran
3 online virus scans, at Panda, Trend, BitDefender, had to visit some AV sites to
get manual removal instructions
for a couple trojans that Anti Virus software couldn't remove. When done I installed
Firefox, and Spyblaster
for the folks I was helping, to help prevent some future
problems, but the internet is a crap shoot now.
