Re: ZeroX
Thanx for the link, but I already have two Adaware scanners. The one I use most is the Yahoo! one. I ran another scan, deleted files, deleted cookies, deleted history, and when you simply type in www into the "homepage" bar, sure enough, the site's name appears since it's the only one there. I may have to give this computer away and I don't want it in here!

Re: Him
It's a Spanish adult website. If you still want to know, I'll post the address. Hopefully it isn't inappropriate to do so, since I'm really trying to just get rid of it. Again, I've never visited the site
, so I'm not sure how it's here, and so permanently, too.

Re: Zero
Well, I downloaded the Adaware scanner. It turns out that it was just an updated version of one I already had. I am proceeding to delete Internet Explorer, since it's on my new laptop with no problems so far. Hopefully, this'll send the website into cyber oblivion. Thanks for the suggestions, though.

you cant delete IE, it is an integral part of Windows. If you could delete it, you would cirpple Windows. There has been many lawsuits over how integrated IE is into Windows.
Reinstalling it, though, you can do. I dont think it would do anytyhing though. What is the name of the website that keeps showing up?

Re: Him
So, if I delete Internet Explorer, it'll mess up everything? I DO have a laptop now, so I have another way to use the web, if that's the only dilemma.
It's an adult site, "bolinga.com," "en Espanol." I don't know how the heck it got here , which irks me, but I do know that it hasn't always been here. Like I said, I looked it up on Yahoo! search, but turned up nothing. It was so mysterious when it first turned up that I first searched its name to see what it was, but it was all in Spanish anyway. Weird, weird, weird.

Have you really scanned the hell out of your computer for spyware, and virus's? Cruise the net, look for every spyware scanner you can find, and scan your comp with it. Use a multitude of different ones. They all pick up things that other scanners dont, and vice versa.
