    Hi, Super,
    My Search is considered by some to be Spyware. Here are the free programs I use, and the steps to use them. It would be worth a try running them, see if they will automatically get rid of this message.
    If you think you already have Spyware/Advertising Ware in your computer, run these as follows:

    AdAware at:
    http://www.lavasoftusa.com
    Download: AdAware_SE V 1.06

    SpyBot Search & Destroy V 1.4
    http://www.spybot.info/en/download/index.html
    All of the above programs run better and much faster when run in SafeMode.

    To get into SafeMode:
    Re-boot the computer, and immediately after starting up, Press and hold down, F8, at top of keypad.
    When the options show on the screen, use the up and down arrow keys on the keyboard to select
    "Safe Mode".
    Press Enter

    It's best to run the AdAware scan first; 3 times; then re-boot.
    Then, run the AdAware scan again 3 times. Then, run SpyBot, and then CWShredder.
    Re- Boot.
    Reason for running so many times:
    Some of these trojans' files can be deleted the first time; leaving some others; but on re-boot, they re-write the files that were deleted.
    Running multiple times deletes most of it the first
    Time.

    If you wish to have a great program, after you clean out Spyware/Advertising Ware:
    This program stops this stuff from getting into the computer in the first place, by placing URL's in the browser, stopping them instantly. One of the Very Best free programs anyone can download! Updates of AntiSpyware Definitions are available on almost a weekly basis.

    SpyWare Blaster 3.5
    http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/sbupdate.html

    Free online scan at:
    http://www.trendmicro.com/spyware-scan/

    I do wish you the best of luck. If you have already done the above, or if it doesn't solve the issue, please post back.

    And I've just commented on the wrong post... Anyway Fred is right. This isn't an IE problem, you've just got some spyware on your PC.

    Hi Fredg:
    Thk for help. It took me several hours to scan my drive and it did work and finally I got my IE back. I disable system restore and deep scan my system with Adware and spyboot under safemode as what you suggested.
    I think Internet Explorer is "NOT VERY GOOD", it got too many loop holes. But most of the web browser were written, base on IE from the past. We got no choice and have to use it sometimes.I have update my window and antivirus software regularly yet I have so much problems with it.
    I only use Firefox and it much safer.

    Hi, Super,
    I am so glad you got it back up and running. Congratulations on a job well done!
    Personally, I like IE, rarely gives me any problems. But, I haven't tried any other browsers, so I can't be critical of the others; one way or another.
    I do know that Norton antivirus programs sometimes has problems with IE, but I use AVG; which I found after unstalling Norton, works much better for me.
