I had an invasion of sorts by Orbit Explorer into my
browser and it put other things all over my hard drive
and no matter what I wanted to do on IE 6, it was happy
to be there for me. I've gotten rid of most everything
on my own, and I'm not that savvy, just persistant. But,
I can't stop it from being my SEARCH page...I've tried
the usual, by going to SEARCH OPTIONS and changing to
Google or Yahoo, but it still attempts Orbitexplorer.com.
HOW DO I GET RID OF THIS?
I wanted to re-install IE 6, and d/l it, but it said a
newer version was on my computer (which is just patches I
guess) and that SETUP was not happening.
HELP me please!!!
