This has been irritating the hell outa me for a while now. on each of my windows I have a toolbar come up called Browserwise! I dont want that advertising crap on my system and it seems to of written itself into windows somehow. I did a system search for it a while ago and there was a hidden file that I deleated. However the stupid browser still keeps coming up on each of my windows. Each time I select view and dont show, the next time I open that window there it is. [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
I presume this advertising crap has somehow been downloaded with something and attached itself within windows. This evening upon signing onto the internet I had a network message saying Browserwise was trying to connect to www.browserwise.com I selected cancel.
I have done another search for Browserwise and there are no search results. Obviously this is so crap spam program and I cannot seem to get rid.
Anyone any ideas? It's driving me nuts. [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
