OT: computer prob/question

if you are using internet explorer 6.0 there is an option you can turn off.. go to Tools then Internet Options then click on the Advanced tab in the options popup window Under --browsing category there is a check box about

24 lines down called "use inline AutoComplete"

when this is checked , it tried to auto fill based on your history etc.

Internet Explorer might have asked him if he wanted this turned on when he was playing around.

What operating system? there's a modified start-up you can use with XP (may work with others but I know it works with Xp... experience ).

In Netscape, the switch is in the preferences under navigator and smart browsing. You turn off the internet key word search.

A friend here is just telling me he had the same trouble.

It is something called gator. He says do a search in the registry for gator and see what comes up.

Is your ad aware up to date?

He thinks his ad aware might have tagged it but he had to manually remove it because it just loaded back in.

Did you try this: From IE - - - - (under personal information) -

The new MS spyware removal tool removed some junk that ad-aware and spybot completely missed. It's free.

If you want to kill those autocomplete messages in IE...then go to Tools>Options...then do a clear history. This will erase all entries in your address drop-down and you have to retype all things.

Also, if you go in to Windows Explorer and right click on your C drive and CLEAN it....then that will give you the option of erasing things in your temp internet directory. But, be aware that the temp directory it lists isn't the only temp directory. You have a C:/temp a C:/windows/temp and a C:/documents and settings//Local Settings/temp

These are what I clean daily (Not suppose to use my work laptop for personal use! :p)

Unless you have to do something like enabling ActiveX and a few other no-no's, You might try installing Mozilla/ or FireFox. Those require a profile be setup for each user and keep entirely separate histories and preferences. Now that I think about it, IE can do almost the same thing if you set the twirp up as a separate "Guest" account and make him log on with that ID rather than yours. Added advantage is that you can then limit his privileges on the machine (a GOOD thing) to prevent him from showing you how smart he is. I keep a guest account on all the Win boxes just for other users so that I can keep at least some of what I do and what they do isolated.

Don't forget to toss your cookies!!!!

Sometimes cookies can have the same effect as your (former) history.... But they don't go when the history does unless you specify.
