IE.. What the hell..

[Shamrock]

This is pissing me off so bad.. Everytime I try and use IE, it bugs up and creates havoc. It hogs every possible resource. It opens up like shit. Then I have to wait at least 1 minute for it to start working normally. I always uses FF, but sometimes my madre likes to come on to my compy and use IE.

Help.. or die.

just delete all the shortcuts to it, and replace the firefox icon with ie's icon

she'll never know what hit her D:

 

[Shamrock]

Its fine. Shes going to start using FF if she knows whats good for her... :flame: I would still like a fix though.

 

[Hazar]

fix to what?

getting rid of ie?

 

[Danimal]

Spyware?

 

[Naudian]

Computer ruined forever. Get new computer.

 

[Shamrock]

Spyware?

Nope. Fresh reformat 3 days ago. Ran Spybot S&D, Adaware, and ZoneAlarm Spysearch and none. I am clean as a ****ing chinese midget prostitute.. A sterilized midget prostitute that is..

 

[Hazar]

windows update?

 

[WhiteZero]

Yeah, if you didnt update then theres a more than good chance you got a worm.

Oh believe me.. I updated.

Reformat to completely fix it. Otherwise use FF for a roundabout fix and a better future.

What pages was it messing up on? Is it java or something like that messing up?

Nope. Whenever I run IE, it just freezes like a whore. Can't stop it either. I close everything, and yet it still does it.

Tiny program called HijackThis. It'll scan IE for everything related to it, then you can delete the dodgy ones.

Sounds like my IE. I just stopped using it and have been on a quest to delete it completely.

I'm not sure if this is true, but I've heard that that's a bad idea- completely getting rid of IE can damage Windows XP (explorer and all that). Could just be pro-IE propaganda, though.

Firefox ftw!

That's why I am still on the quest. I haven't figured out a safe way to get rid of it.
