Quarkenstein

After a pop-up frenzy that required me to control-alt-deleteto close IE,
whenever I open explorer the back and forward buttons are greyed out and
non-functional.No matter where on the net I go, they never return to
functionality. Please tell me how to enable this important function.
I am running IE6 on XP Pro.

Thank You

Help with Hijackware!

Download and run Lavasoft's Ad-aware (and) SpyBot Search & Destroy.
Ad-aware here: http://www.lavasoftusa.com
SpyBot here: http://www.safer-networking.org

Install (both) applications since one catches what the other doesn't.
Update both *immediately* upon installation as they are not updated "out of the
box".
Delete whatever Ad-aware finds in the scan results, you will be prompted.
Remove all the items found in the SpyBot scan results marked "red", the remainder
are minor items that can be ignored until you are more familiar with the program.

Please post back your findings.
