    I am sorry, but I have to give credit where credit is due. After at least three weeks of agonizing frustration, my Internet Explorer window is no longer being hijacked. I have been waiting for this. I logged on to MajorGeeks this evening to post a desperate Hijack This log and what do I see! I see HSRemove 2.38! FINALLY. This ridiculousness is over!

    Thank you MajorGeeks.

    Thank you to the individual who created HSRemove, you should get honorary sainthood from the freaking Pope because you are God sent.

    I ran the same program and EVERYTHING went back to normal (Thank GOD), but am still getting the occasional porn pop-up. Has this happened to you, also?

    No, I have not had any porn pop ups at this point. But, during my frustration, I had written off Internet Explorer and switched to Mozilla Firefox, this was one of the best decision I ever made.

    There better not be a single porn pop up in the future if I do venture back to IE, seeing as how I have assaulted this Spyware with HSRemove, HiJack This, CWShredder, Adware 6.0, Spybot, and SystemWiper.

    I am convinced the war is over.

    Mozilla Firefox???? Never heard of it.


    Is that a browser that I might be able to use with Cox hi-speed?

    Cox Hi-speed? Whats that, cable modem? You should be able to use any browser, heck I go to friends and fix their machines, they have AOL and I minimize it to use Outlook. So, regardless, you should be able to use it in any situation. You simply will click the Firefox icon instead of the Internet Explorer icon and your off! I believe it imports favorites and all.

    Here it is, 4.9 megs and free!

    Vased off Mozilla, which has less features and is much uglier. Only catch, youll love it or hate it. My advice? Dont decide immediately. People use IE for so long, just the change factor makes you not like it.

    Let us know!
