This program appears safe so I would not worry about it


As far as IE, we can set it back to company defaults , but first make Google you default

• Open Internet Explorer
• Click on Tools up on the top right
• Click on Manage Add Ons
• Click on Search Providers
• Make Google you default

If that didn't work try this

• Open IE
• Go to Tools> Internet Options > Advanced Tab
• Reset Internet Explorer Setting
• Reset
• This will take a few seconds
• Close IE and then reopen it and see if it helped

Glad all is ok and things are working again for you

good morning ken, the reset went well on the internet explorer and everything is looking good. i have one more question about browsers maybe you could help me with, sometimes but not always if i open my browser history i find my email shows it has been opened a bunch(up to 20 to 30 times). pretty unusual if you ask me, this seems to happen in particular after i have checked my email and then went over the news. i stay away from the sideline links and banner ads and i show no redirecting or behavior other than the history log. can you think of any explanation for this? maybe its a glitch in the browser but it never happens with anything but the gmail address. i guess i should ask if this is a good time to remove the tools i have downloaded can't really think of anything else so i'll wait to hear back from you. have an excellent day

Internet Explorer as do all other browsers save every page you visit including mail in a cache...this is your TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES.

Open IE and go to Tools > Internet Options and on the Main tab under Browsing History just click on Delete

Sorry, forgot to post this for you

Double click on AdwCleaner.exe to run the tool again.

• Click on the Uninstall button.
• Click Yes when asked are you sure you want to uninstall.
• Both AdwCleaner.exe, its folder and all logs will be removed.

Please download DelFix and save the file to your Desktop.

• Double-click DelFix.exe to run the program.
• Place a checkmark next to the following items:

.Activate UAC
.Remove disinfection tools
.Create registry backup
.Reset System Settings

Click the Run button

This will remove the specialised tools we used to clean your system. Any leftover logs, files, folders or tools remaining on your Desktop which were not removed can be deleted manually

hi ken sorry about the delay getting back to you i was camping in the mountains with the grandkids for a few days and forgot to take care of this before i left. the delfix did it's thing just fine, that makes it easy. one thing i should mention about the multiple browser entries on my gmail is it only happens with gmail and it's firefox history not EI. i delete browser history after going over each entry at the end of every session so its not a case of stacking multiple searches over several days' i'm wondering if its a gmail glitch or something similar, i can't think of any other explanation. thanks again for the help and advice they are both priceless. 1 fairly old man.

Hi,

No problem in the reply, I go out to California about once a year to see mine.

I am not following what your saying about multiple browsers in your gmail, could you be a bit more specific

[1oldman]

hello again, what i'm talking about isn't multiple browsers, it's multiple instances of gmail opening in the firefox history. as i was saying i go over the history after each use and while i open gmail only once(i'm sure of this) the history reflects many instances of it opening gmail. don't know what to make of this as i clear history after each use to make it easier to keep track of whats going on on my computer. if you have any thoughts or ideas about whats going on here i'm always open to ideas. have a good one and i'm looking forward to hearing what you think of this browser history issue, as i was saying it only happens with gmail so i was suspecting a glitch on their part or possibly firefox.

Everything you open is saved in a cache and history, even if you go to Gmail just once to check your mail, it saves a copy in the history of every mail you open, so even if you just went to Gmail once and there where 8 emails and you clicked on each one to open them so you could read them, those 8 are saved in your history.

[1oldman]

cool that makes sense, as i was saying your help and advice is priceless, once again i'm left with a good running machine and no lingering questions. thanks so much, i guess class is dismissed on this one (however the education never ends). one thought i'm left with after reading through some of the others posts is a lot of problems are probably caused by not so safe surfing as much as predatory software so safe surfing is good advice. take er' easy and thanks again.

Great. Just use your head, dont open any spam email, just delete it. If you wander into a site that wants you to download anything to make your experience better dont do it, dont use any registry cleaners, you can remove wrong entries that can make your system unbootable. Windows has a lot of nice built in programs so no need for any 3rd party programs to enhance your system, the only thing there going to enhance is there bank account.

Take care my friend,

Ken
