    Hi

    This is how you can remove the IE branding from Freeserve HERE (there is an application *ISPunbrand) or manual steps.

    As for the Wanadoo insert, where is that located? if in Add/Remove then try this application HERE and look for Wanadoo in the list and only remove it anything says Wanadoo.

    What Windows version is she using, plus service pack level, can find this out by right clicking Computer/My Computer and choosing Properties.


    Also as a side note, run through this also a Guide Basic computer maintenance everyone should do
