Hijack This
I know about Hijack This, I've read about it and I am not sufficiently competent to feel comfortable running it. The link that was supposed to get me to a program to clean up IE was two separate links. One got me to a miniscule gif file. The other got me to a program in German that I didn't understand, and I clicked on what I thought might be an English translation and LOL it showed me a group of smileys. At that point I decided to vacate the program before I did something that might be destructive.
BTW, Hijack This has been replaced by the original author by what he claims is a far more powerful tool than Hijack This. Basically the actions of Hijack This are a small subset of the actions of the other program. Since I'm not at a level to run Hijack This, I'm certainly not going to try his newer, more powerful program.
If a correct link to whatever is supposed to clean out IE10 were posted, that would be great. Once again thanks to all of you.
Blueguy, I uninstalled Java last week and thus far have not seen any problems. Thanks for the tip. As to flashplayer, what can one say. When you run Adwcleaner it deletes the Yahoo toolbar - that's not very encouraging.
