</DIV></DIV>

no gwil, my son went to questionable sites to acquire cracks and such.. he got this too.. turned out to be spyware that installed the website URL permanently..

it took me a while to get it gone.
still... i could be mistaken, as i am unsure where this fella went.

That's an important lesson, never visit porn sites using the family computer :razz:

There should be a "clear autocomplete" option somewhere in the browser options.

im using the newest version of ie

<div class="abouttext">Message submitted 0 minutes after original post:</b></div>
And this is not a familiy computer, but my mum uses it from time to time

I say, switch to Firefox. You can clear all of that stuff with the click of a button. And plus I like Firefox better.

Hahahahahahaha!

Hahaha!

Oh btw, I hardly think hes refering to having a virus Orph. Sounds like hes been at some page he dont want his mom to see.

Well i need help now soo.....

Try mousing over it when the drop down box comes, with it highlighted, press the delete key. That should work. Otherwise, go to Tools>Internet options... In the new window, go to the bottom third and press clear history. That should work as well. Hope this helps.

try going to tools > internet options > content tab

there should be a button that says autocomplete click it, then click on the clear form button

should work if i recall correctly

i use firefox now because i prefer tabbed browsing amongst other things

if it doesnt go away, as orph said you probably have spyware/adware,
try googling for microsoft antispyware, spybot search and destroy, and
ad-adware

Well both of the last two entries did not work :sad:

I have noe spyware, ive checked 3 times

tht de;eting does not work, and if u have read my orignail post it says i have done delete history

<div class="abouttext">Message submitted 7 minutes after original post:</b></div>
Right ive found the source of the link, i put it in search on the history window and it comes up with lots of websites , but when i right click -> Delete, nothing happens !!!!!! IT does not delete!!!!!!!!!!!! Ill laug about this when im older but i need help now!!!!!!!! PLEASE

If u cant help me im gonna reformat

Reformatting every time you look a porn...that would be a bugger :sad:
Whatever happens, consider using firefox in the future. Its really nigh
on identical to IE bar a few additional (and useful) features.

In internet explorer, choose Tools, Internet Options..., select the General tab, and click "Clear History".

... except that it doesn't have a kick-ass Google toolbar plugin (now version 3, with spell checker goodness that thesilence REALLY needs).

You can remove them by deleting the relevant parts of your registry. No I won't be cruel and tell you to delete the entire HKEY_CURRENT_USERS tree, but it's in there somewhere. Good luck :razz:

Doesn't it? Well I have a google search box permanently in the top
corner, and a dictionary.com search box, and an IMDB search box, so
that will do the job just fine for me :smile:

to clear all pr0n traces from your computer:

goto start menu|run type regedit, click the top level, and then search for "typedurl" then delete all traces from there.

Then clear history

then delete all cookies and "temporary internet files"

then go to the "content" tab in the internet properties and select "autocomplete" and click CLEAR FORMS.

this will get rid of all pr0n traces in internet explorer.

This is clearly from a man in the know! I applaud your efforts nickel :biggrin:

Doesn't it? Well I have a google search box permanently in the top

Is that all? :smile: I have (here we go...):

Google, Google UK, Yahoo, A9, Amazon, CDDB, Creative Commons,
Dictionary.com, eBay (though I'm not sure why), Encarta, Google Images,
Google Scholar, HowStuffWorks, and Wikipedia. For those that didn't
know, you can get other search engines from
http://mycroft.mozdev.org/download.html

Granted that I miss a few features from the Google toolbar, but the
main one I used - highlight search terms - has been replaced by the
find tool, so I'm quite happy using Firefox.

Each to his own though...

/sidetrack

goodness, just use firefox, firefox has never crashed on me, and i can delete stuff with 1 mouse click!

Just tell whoever else using the comp that you don't have a clue how it got there :wink:

And as the others say, use Firefox.

Nickle PLate it is still there
Ive gone into regedit and clciked on the top level, after my computer, "find" ed typedurl, it came up with a folder, i deleted it, then cleared history, then got rid of forms and it still does not work

hopefully my mum wont find the porn (why do we say pr0n) until; sunday cos im reformatting my computer then any way!

Not nessesarily.
Not if there was another registry entry you were suppose to delete.
When you "format" through windows (which is what most people mean when saying reformatting) the registry is untouched.

Just thought you should know ... (same reason why Win-Formatting doesn't get rid of viruses and spyware; In fact, the windows registry can keep copies of normal documents you have, in non-complete, need regerative forms.)

you just made his day, Crono. :smile:

If reformatting doesn't solve it the next step will be to throw the computer away and buy a new one.

All for not being able to stay away :rolleyes:

All I can say is, Lolosaurus
