Problems with browser...

I seem to have some sites on my PC that wont delete themselves even if I clear the cookies, delete files and clear history....I run Ad Aware and the sites are still there....

Any idea on how to help?

What kind of sites?

 

Not sure which ones they were....it's been on my pc now for about a month.....One shows a porn site that I know I didnt go to.....

 

Where is it showing up?

 

First one is when i start typing an address, it self completes on a porn address...

Second one is a box taht shows up asking me if I want to use Cool Search

 

First one: Just clear your history

Second one: dunna know

 

Tried clearing history, deleting cookies, deleting temp files, ran a virus check, ran ad-aware......It`s stll there.

 

You could also try a program called Norton Clean Sweep, or possibly Evidence Eliminator....they eliminate any temporary or junk files.

 

format c:

 

Spybot search and destroy,does the stuff that adaware doesn't.
You can download it here http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=mirrors

 

if you are typing out the URL and thats where it shows up try clearing the autocomplete forms.

 

and for the second one check your startup items in msconfig for anything that might be causing the cool search boxes to pop up
