where do i start it. 88)
few days ago i installed sweetIM add on for Yahoo messenger, it’s a smiley package for YM.
i don’t know how & why (i remember unticking everything), it also install its toolbar on my firefox 3.0.1 & IE6.
i managed to remove all of the toolbar & the yahoo add on. no more sweetIM on my computer.
but now, everytime i type an incomplete link to Firefox, (let say “comodo”), i’m directed to sweetIm search page >:(
(usually i’ll be directed to google page).
anybody know how to change this?
i’ve tried to click the “G” (google) symbol & “manage search engine”, and i removed everything except google, but it didn’t work.
I do not use Firefox so follow their instructions similar to these for IE. Even though you use firefox, most have a version of IE double check it.
Go to tools at the top right of IE (if IE 7), then Internet Options and check Search, if it is the culprit highlight it and click on remove and then set a new default.
To ensure that your selection does not get written over again reboot and recheck.
Oh, be sure and run any file and registry cleaning programs you use before the reboot
i’ve done all of above suggestions except reinstalling & using HJT. still got the monkey 88)
maybe i’ll just reinstall it. but i have plenty of bookmark items :-\
oh mine is IE6, never use it, but this monkey install its toolbar automatically there. i’ve uninstall them all,
the toolbar for IE6 & the smiley for YM using revouninstaller and the toolbar for firefox from tools/add ons
i use only google toolbar & i removed all of the other options except google on “manage search engine” (attached). but still got directed to sweetIm search 88)
done that using regseeker. there are a lot of entries for sweetim, but all of them related to “comodo firewall pro” ??? so i didn’t do anything about it. maybe they’re rules created by CFP or something like that?
RegSeeker will also pluck the remaining registry keys leftover by Defense+ :-TD. that’s why i put in the wishlist to include a purge all button for all obsolete files on the PC :a0. Anyway, that’s another topic.
