also, look for a program called "Ace Utilities" and use it to remove your junk files and to clean your registry. And yes, it helped me with mine by going deep into the registry and it can help you with yours

Thanks to Gryph and everyone that responded with a recommendation.

 

I used Spy Sweeper and came up with a truckload of crap. Did a info check on the stuff that was causing the problems. Apparently it's called Adscpm Cookie, and it's threat assesment is "low." Well, either way, it was causing some problems like 1) slow as hell web connection 2) page hijacks and 3) some other system (or some crap like that) automatically connecting me to the web -- I dunno, it was weird.

 

Yeah, so, don't go to that site I mentioned in my first post. I find it *amazing* that there are members that actually post on such a site. Well, don't go unless you're just incredibly desparate for those lyrics. :-D

you could always use Opera. Its a internet browser much more secure than IE. Its got mouse gestures, that once you start using them, you can't switch to a browser that doesn't have them. The only thing is, if you don't wanna pay for it, you have an ad on your screen all the time, but its still much better than IE. Tabbed browsing is great too. check out www.opera.com
