| Has anyone else had this thing just pop up on your computer? I had a box pop up on the lower right side of the screen congratulating me on my installation of the Viewpoint Toolbar. I had just booted up. When I opened IE, there it was, taking over all of my stuff. I have been working on taking this thing off but what a pain in the a$$. I manage the PCs at my office so I am very cautious of spyware, worms, viruses, etc. so I know I did not let this thing in on purpose. Just curious if anyone else has seen this. |
I hate to sound like a pusher, but stop using IE, seriously. Its not worth the aggrivation. If you must for some bizarre reason, use Spyblaster it prevents that crap from even happening. |
googlage found their website

| Yeah, did the uninstall from the add/remove but I have probably found 20 or so remnants in the registry and files place all over the hard drive. The main reason I use IE is because I have a hard enough time teaching the people at work how to use/maintain the software that we use. When I upgrade one PC, I do them all so that I don't have to try and remember all of the different versions and makes. I have to fix so much stuff on them now, I really hate to introduce anything new on them. I have serious considered changing them over to something different and making them suck it up. FireFox seem to be the best alternative? |
