Hi

I wonder if anyone has come across this one?

I have google as my default page. but sometimes when i start IE it opens
another window with some crap add in it.

any ideas what this could be and how to get rid of it?

my wife had put mywebservice toolbar on it - which i recently uninstalled -
so it could be a remnant of that - but is there someplace to look?

Thanks

You got spyware in your computer!
do following to get rid of these windows...

click Start, click on Run
type: msconfig and press ENTER
it will bring a config window; here you can restrict the programs from
opening
when windows starts. most spyware sits here to start.
click on "startup" tab (last one)
uncheck unwanted entries.

2:
get any spyware removal tool. one and best is LavaSoft Adaware personal
edition.
its free. you can get it from www.lavasoftusa.com

scan your system from this tool (make sure you are in safe mode, reboot your
computer in safe mode), and run this tool from there.

to boot in safe mode, reboot your comp, keep pressing F8 function key at
boot, you will see a list of options to start your PC. then select "Safe mode"

hope, these will help you to get rid of these windows.
If you are using Windows XP, get service pack 2!!!

Regards,
