| 492684 | 2006-10-19 08:06:00 | You cant remove IE completely, as it gets installed with Windows . The only way you'll do this, is if u use something like Nlite, a program which lets u remove programs etc . BUT, you'll have to reformat the hdd and reinstall Windows to do this . To make firefox the default browser, go to its prefs somewhere and make it the default browser . I dont think the balloons you're seeing have anything to do with what browser you're using . And I dont think hotmail would work properly, with other browsers . |

| 492685 | 2006-10-19 08:56:00 | It doesn't sound like you have done a virus or spyware clean . Follow the instructions on this page ( . net . nz/index . php?title=Spyware%2C_Adware_%26_Viruses" target="_blank">faqf1 . net . nz) to give the PC a cleanout . And in future don't go clicking on balloons that say you have spyware, viruses or trojans . It's a good way of adding them by doing that . |

| 492688 | 2006-10-19 09:22:00 | There are programs that can remove IE after u install Windows, but then if there are sites that rely on IE in order to work properly, (because of ActiveX) then u have a prob. Windowsupdate may be ok, since there's a plugin for firefox I think. I see the final v of IE 7 is out now too. Came out yesterday. |

| 492691 | 2006-10-19 16:50:00 | I am not an expert, but the only thing that I would not allow in my computer is this: C:\Program Files\HQVideoCodec\pmmon . exe It gets a few hits when you Google it as spyware . . . so much for what you have as nothing else gets that result . . . but every instance of things with that root name to it (HQVideoCodec . . . etc) comes back as spyware . Of course, I would never trust Norton/Symantec/McAfee for security in any way and they don't exist on my system either! |
