Internet tools & scrol bar

[Rick Thall]

1. I have aquired hundreds of junk address in both home-
page and default-page within the internet options. How can
you delete all of them, just a basic delete does not work.
Plus I keep getting re-hit by other's that change my home
page. How can that be block from happening.

2. On some Internet sites particulaly my banking and here
at Microsoft my scrol is almost a second in delay of
operation making everything very jumpy and jerky. Not all
sites respone this way.

System: Windows 98 second edition.
Memory: 256Meg Disk: 6Gig (1/2 used)
Internet Connection: Lan (very high speed)

Hopping someone as answers Thanks

These are coming from the index.dat file in the history folder. Delete the
History folder to clear them.

Probably also caused by parasites.
