Hi,
Somehow a website has listed itself as an option when I
click the right button on my mouse. How do I edit these
options so I can remove the website listing?

Thank you,
 
Hi there,

You may uninstall the website specific applications from
ADD/Remove programs in conrol panel.

Delete entries in regedit, follow these steps:

1. Click Start and select Run.
2. Type regedit and click OK.
3. In the Edit menu, click Find, type in (name of the
website), and click Find Next.
4. When the search stops, the website name would be
highlighted.
5. Press the Delete key on the keyboard and confirm the
deletion.
Press F3 to continue the search and delete all website
entries.
6. Click Registry and select Exit.
7. Restart the computer.

Furthermore, deep scan registry and check for spywares.

Spyware is one of the most common threats against the
security of your computer. They usually take the form of
small programs that come along with shareware
applications. The spyware usually serves to report various
statistics back to its host company without your
permission. Sometimes they have no visible effect on your
computer, but moreoften than not they make your system
less stable and cause countless other problems. The only
way to effectively remove spyware is to use a tool like Ad-
aware.
