[digital]

hi all,

ok,i am not to technically minded when it comes to computers but i cant seem to get rid of my history etc,i go to internet options delete cookies,clear history and delete files but still when i enter an address it shows where i have been?it never used to do that,am i doing something wrong or is it impossible to get rid of that

thanks

you talking about the drop-downs. the ones that show when you try and type in an addy or keyword?

[digital]

yes those ones

[LOCO]

start/settings/taskbar and start menu/start menu/customize/clear

that clears the google tool bar, addresses and stuff...

[digital]

thanks,

but its still there

not sure but not to long ago a software package somehow got onto my system that practically took over,spamming me everytime i logged on,give me all these porn sites as favorites etc etc , since then all this started,its like its saving stuff somewhere in a hidden file,one of the sites hitting me are,remove all porn from your site,so i am thinking this site has done it to make me go to them.

as i say i am not to computer inclined but damn i dont want work to find out

install it and run it... delete all the shit it finds.. and then immunize

[digital]

thanks,

done it,run it and immunized but still wont go away,in address bar remebers sites from awhile back come up as your typing,everytime i am on a site,any word like ass,sex,porn,etc are underlined and you put your cursor on it and it comes up with gang bang link.

what does that software actually do?

[LOCO]

it tracks down all those 'hidden files' and stuff that loads those porn sites..... dialers, tracking cookies, etc...

[digital]

thanks loco,

it sorted that thanks,but ended up getting a guy in to reformat my harddrive yesterday,so all squeky clean

[LOCO]

lol yeh that does it too... nothing feels better but a nice squeeky clean HD...
