Microsoft Internet Explorer - address history

Expert: Frances Rhea - 11/21/2004

Question
will some active x java or anything of the sort make an address show up in my address bar history? i recently went to a site that popped up numerous redirection links, lots of porn lots of garbage, and a few showed up in my address bar history.....need some help

Answer
The easiest way to remove all traces that they would have left is to download this software. The first is Ad-Aware:

http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-Personal-Edition/3000-8022_4-10319876.html?t...

Run this program at least twice. Then download System Spyware Interrogator here:

http://www.download.com/System-Spyware-Interrogator/3000-8022_4-10295215.html?ta...

This will identify any additional problems that Ad-Aware has not found or removed. It will open a page in your browser that tells you what it found. If you click on the links they take you to a page that tells you how to remove the problem found.

When you are done with these 2 programs everything should be clean. Run these programs at least once a week. Let me know if you need additional help.
