    Slight Problem

    I was googling for some college baseball stats and clicked on a link. Bad idea. After that 5 IE shortcuts were added to my desktop as well as my favorites menu. My homepage was also changed. Even if i delete them and reset everything, when i restart my PC they come back. Anyone have a solution?


    Thanks,

    you'll need to look at all the various places a program goes to start itself

    start -> run -> type msconfig

    look over everything, be on the lookout for programs that appear to be a mix of random letters

    you can see it in autoexec.bat file..

    by msconfig or sysedit

    click start>run and type msconig or sysedit

    open the autoexec.bat

    remove the lines which start the exe file
    save and reset you pc then delete the shortcuts.
