    :confused: :eek: :confused:

    For some reason there has been an addition to my right click menu. Whenever i right click in internet explorer, be it to save a pic or view source, there is a new slot in the menu ">>FREE **** GALLERIES<<<" which is extremely annoying and unwanted. It acts as a link to some random **** site. is there any way to get rid of this please? If you can help i'd be extremely grateful!

    Thanks,
    Nick

    Remove right-click menu items

    I might also suggest that you download and run Ad-Aware, and BHO Demon to see if you have spyware or a BHO installed.

    Ad-Aware can be downloaded from;

    Add to that list Spybot 1.3. Before you run AdAware and Spybot be sure to update them (definitions) and delete all they find, AdAware 6 (SE is now available) should be configured for a full scan ....

    [B[How to Perform a "˜Full Scan’ with Ad-aware 6 build 181[/B]

    In Ad-aware click the Gear to go to the Settings area.

    The following items should be on a green check, not on a red x

    Under the Scanning Button "¦.

    Scan within archives
    Under Memory and Registry, check EVERYTHING
    In Check Drives and Folders, make sure all of your hard drives are selected

    Under the Advanced Button "¦.

    Check all under Log detail level

    Under the Tweak Buttons "¦.

    Some of these may not be an option depending on your version of Ad-aware and your version of Windows. Do not be concerned if you cannot select a certain item.

    In Scanning Engine "¦.

    Unload recognized processes during scanning
    Include info about ignored objects in log file, if detected in scan
    Include basic Ad-aware settings in log file
    Include additional Ad-aware settings in log file
    Include used command line parameters in log file

    In Cleaning Engine "¦.

    XP/2000: Allow unloading explorer to unload shell extensions prior to deletion
    Let Windows remove files in use at next reboot
    UNCHECK: Automatically try to unregister objects prior to deletion

    Click Proceed to save these settings, When you would like to perform a "˜Full Scan’, switch the scan mode from SmartScan to Custom.


    For added, permanent protection download SpywareBlaster , update it and 'Enable all protection'. Update every couple of weeks and enable protection for all new items.
