Then put a check beside all of the 016 lines. There is a mix of good and bad files in there. They are all active x files and the good ones will be reloaded when and if you visist those sites again.

Then while still in safe mode delete these files/folders, you may need to show hidden files,

Okely dokely, i've done that, except, these folders i couldn't find, even after making sure that the hidden files were exposed.

By the way, thanks for the help!!!

Looks good :D :thumbup:

Ok you ready for the fireside chat? :weee:

If you dont have these three programs I would recommend that you get them. Spywareblaster, Spywareguard and IESPY AD. They will add 1000's of sites to your resticted zone and block some hijacks from happening. In my signature below is also a tutorial on how to harden IE, a good read and very helpful to stop these things in the future. I also have a FREE FIREWALL and FREE ANTI VIRUS if you need one.

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system.

Keep your system up to date and run Adaware & Spybot, once a week works, and hopefully you will be ok from here on.

Safe Surfing. :D
