Solve : Weird IE Question?

Answer»

Hello to all - first post here and I think that it's great that something like this is available.

Ok - my question might be simple, but it's bugging me to no end.

Like I should, I do routine PM on my laptop (DELL Latitude w/Windows XP/IE 6) - this also includes routine PM on IE also. I do the standard easy stuff, cleaning cookies and whatnot - which also includes clearing out the URL history in the address bar. Now - this is were it starts to get strange.

I know that to clear out the URL history you need to GO to Tools, IE Options, Content, Autocomplete - clear passwords/forms.... and that works except for one web address. It's not a bad one (actually something my daughter looked up - some Barbie website) - but it intrigues me that I can clear all of them but THAT ONE?

Any ideas?

All HELP is most appreciated.Try CCleaner.

Don't use the registry section unless you know what you're doing!KPAC,

Thanks for the reply and I DL'd it and it's still there. It clears everything else out from the address bar but that one website?

That shouldn't have to be DONE though.

Click here to download HijackThis.

  • Save HJTsetup.exe to your desktop.
  • Double click on the HJTsetup.exe icon on your desktop.
  • By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Hijack This.
  • Continue to click Next in the setup dialogue boxes until you get to the Select Addition Tasks dialogue.
  • Put a check by Create a desktop icon then click Next again.
  • Continue to follow the rest of the prompts from there.
  • At the final dialogue box click Finish and it will launch Hijack This.
  • Click on the Do a system scan and save a logfile button. It will scan and the log should open in Notepad.
  • Click on Edit > Select All then click on Edit > Copy to copy the entire contents of the log.
  • Come back here to this thread and Paste the log in your next reply.
  • DO NOT have Hijack This fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or required by the system.
Thanks for your all your help, I ended up getting rid of it.

Unfortunately, I ended up picking up some adaware and when I got rid of that apparently the stray URL went with it.

Anyway, everything is as it should be - I suppose.

Thanks,

BA
