243020 2004-06-09 02:24:00 Hi People
Ive checked the faq's but I havent really got the answer I need.
A friend of mine has a pc whose teenage lad must have been surfing and he has three entries in favorites he now cant get rid of. one is a casino type thing the others are naughty I believe.
How can I clear this for him? I think I might have to go into reg as it comes back all the time when you just do a delete?
please help me?

243021 2004-06-09 02:27:00 Use the old spybot and adawere aproach.

Most likely they have a toolbar installed that is not only intergrated itself into windows and running constantly but regenerating the entries for favourites.

Needs an overhaul i would say.

That could account for the invisibility of your post.;)
