Everytime I open IE, after about a couple of minutes a side toolbar opens,
sometimes it displays my folders and other times it displays coupons. I ran
spyware software but nothing seems to be on the computer, what can I do to
stop this from happening?
 
Hi there,

Please follow the steps below to troubleshoot this issue:

1. Click Start, run, type "inetcpl.cpl" (with out quotation marks) and click
OK.
2. Click the Advanced tab.
3. Under Browsing, uncheck the "Enable third-party browser extensions
(requires restart)" check box.
4. Click OK.

PS: Do not restart your computer after performing the above steps.

Once you are done with the above steps, please open a brand new Internet
Explorer and check if the problem is resolved.

You may also use the IE Toolbarcop to eliminate stubborn toolbars and other
IE add-ons:

Thank you! I am having the same annoying problem myself.
 
If that fixed it you need to eliminate any scumware.
First get LSP-Fix - a free program to repair damaged Winsock 2 stacks
http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm
You may need to run it if you can't browse or send mail after eliminating
the malware.

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated with the program's update function
before every use, even when just downloaded. There's also a lot more to do
than just those two programs. CWShredder is also available here:
