IE Hijacked

KTfan · 2007-10-10T16:08:44+00:00

Hi, I hope you guys can help me. A couple of days ago, after installing IE7, I found IE browser would not work. When I open up an IE window, the page just freezes. Also, for about a week before this happened I was experiencing adverts on webpages from the company Zango. Many thanks.

Hi, done all that you said in previous post. Java is working fine.

Just a slight problem, nothing major, but IE is still quite slow on opening. Not sure if that's anything to worry about or not.

Thanks so much for you help, I really appreciate it.

Thanks, I'll try some of those.

Also, not sure if this is related, but I've noticed these two files scattered in some of my folders on my laptop.

I tried deleting them, but them seem to return again.

KTfan,

Both of the files seem to be related to Hewlett Packard, or HP products, scanner, printer, or camera. The files are harmless so nothing to worry about
