Hijacked favorites (IE 6 SP2)

Topic

New Reply

My son recently started playing on line games and downloaded a lot of software. Of the many things that has happened, my favorties has been hijacked. Now on top are 6 folders and 5 sites. When I right-click on these instead of getting the usual menu, all I get is “close toolbar” which closes favorites. When I click on Add or organize, they don’t show up so it is not possible to delete them. I have used Microsoft Antispyware beta and spybot search and destroy with no luck. I don’t want to lose my Favorites bar, it took a long time to create it.
Thanks in advance
Craig

Craig,

Also check out post 296,439 from KenK and others in the thread.

Do you have an anti-virus program installed and updated?
Firewall?

Besides SpyBot S&D try Adaware and Sptware Blaster mentioned in that thread.
