Anyone that can help:
I saw a post that was done at a google groups about a problem caused
by a program called trafficworks that is downloaded often by accident
that then controls browser function when doing a google search, or any
search engine search, etc. It causes another web page to pop up etc.
Well, I had a similar problem with traffic works – I downloaded it
because the company was trying to show me how great it was to
advertise on their network. What a mistake!!!
I found out though that I was able to uninstall in the add/remove
programs in XP and was able to uninstall it.
The problem is – after I uninstalled it – most java links and some
other links don't work when using Microsoft Explorer 6.0 (or any other
version). Thus when I am on numerous web pages, many links dont work
at all. It is hard to characterize exactly which are the ones that
done work - but for sure the java links dont work and it seems
anything a little different than a basic html link does not work.
When I reinstalled the program it seemed to fix the problem – but I
couldn't stand having the program on my machine so uninstalled and now
have been trying for months to figure out how to fix my browser
problem.
I have completely reinstalled Explorer 6.0 and did all windows updates
again –
STILL – many links don't work (and they do work on every other
computer I go to). Thus I know this is not a site problem, rather a
problem with my computer, os, or browser - what exactly I dont know.
Do you have any thoughts about what got screwed up in my computer by
this traffic works program?
I have run adaware and spybot and it doesn't fix the problem. Or maybe
I have another problem and don't realize how it got there or what it
is – but it is crippling my use of the web browser when clicking on
any java link especially.
Thanks for anyones help if you can?
