I use Mozilla Firefox, ive had it long time now cuz explorer is messed up with virus. But firefox works great and its free. Very Happy

get McAfee i can send the whole thing to you, don't need subscriptions or anything, or just CTRL+ALT+DEL and go to proccesses and remove everything but explorer.exe under your username

You got Ad-aware? Sounds like you've got some sexeh adware stuff to me, so stop using. IE is a cow to uninstall, anyway, not all web pages work with firefox and opera so I suggest you don't get rid of it Razz

^^ Yup, lol don't get them anymore, I sorted it out using a thing called 'Hijack This' which analyses all the running processes on your computer. I recently had something like mssearchnet.exe and nvctrl.exe which are bastards.
