IE6

[Don]

When I open IE6 I have a bunch of browser windows open up besides my
homepage. Most are adverts for on-line casinos-I can't get rid of them-I've
run spybot and cleaned my computer-what else can I do. I am familier working
in the Registry if that would help!

try Adaware as well - it quite often picks up things that Spybot doesn't and
vice-versa....

Hi

Try these programs to check for any spyware that may be on your system:

Ad-Aware - www.lavasoftusa.com
Spybot - http://www.safer-networking.org/
CWShredder - http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html

Also, I'm not sure what you mean by 'browser windows' if you mean pop-ups, which open in a seperate window..anyway, it's just semantics, but here is a link for several spy/maleware typer things, that might help..scroll through the list and see if there is
anything that pertains.

Try using the MSN Toolbar that is available for free on www.msn.com
and then configure it to block all pop up windows and you will not get popups when you open specific websites.

Also enable the firewall on your computer after cleaning the computer with Ad-aware and also keep your computer upto date with Windows updates.
