A warning, I downloaded adware and spybot to try them out, there must be some conflict having both on the machine at the same time because it porked my browser, I had to format and reload my operating system.
Delete one altogether before trying out another.
What I want is something that will stop dammed search engines installing themselves as my home page, awaware does not seem to be able to do this.
PS is it possible to delete internet explorer altogether and reinstall from the windows disk?
