That nasty option in my Tools Menu

Merlinots · #1 February 10th, 2003, 03:42 PM

Hello everyone. I am new here!

I have an extra option in my Tools menu of my Internet Explorer 6.01 browser: Clean Internet Access Record. I don't know how it got into it automatically

I tell you I have never ever accepted anything like it before. It links me to a Chinese website which I never visited before. I dunno what it means to me to have that in my browser.

I want to get rid of it: check my 'downloaded program files' I saw nothing. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of that option from my browser?

Thanks

look in your add/remove, see if there is something you dident put on your pc, go to c program files see if there is anything there, if you can get a name go to search, there is a utility, hijack this, i have never used it but every body sez it works good, and there will prob. be someone that can help you with it

It worked finally and found out what that was... also I discovered a small NEW.net program in my add/remove. thought it was a microsoft .NET add-on. it was a disguise.

Thanks a LOT for that program u recommended and I did pretty sure checked that I did not remove key settings in my browser.
