Hi
When starting IE, there are ads and some self run
programs (ie: something like improvement on your pc
performance...) running automatically in a seperate
windows. I found them annoying and sometimes without my
knowledge they install some icons (ie: some casino
games...)
How do I prevent those things from getting in my IE?
Thanks,
O
