When I go to check out a website I get the following message, This ins't anything that iv'e subscribed to, Installed nor want on my system. Iv'e gone the route of Using Spybot and Ad-Aware and yet the problem still persists. Anyone know how i can get rid of this problem..would be much appreciated. Thanks In Advance.

dumping Cookies,History and Cache is something I do on a daily basis at times more then once a day. What is the command I would use to find out all software on my system?

n2h2 url checker (http://database.n2h2.com/cgi-perl/catrpt.pl)

Try that.
Also, have you tried checking your host file?
in xp:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\etc\hosts
open it with notepad and see if google is added in there.

Although i think it has something to do with n2h2

If you have BESS installed that will happen. BESS is a internet filtering program a lot of schools have.

And I Opened the suggest path in notepad and Google was not present.

I have seen filtering software like this before. Are you on a network or under a company isp or similar cause it looks like a filtering system of sorts. Try right clicking on the page and find the location of the page. The path may lead to some software of something ? If you are on a network check out with the admin etc.

:D not everything is owned by microsoft :P those other IE&#39;s can be mozilla or opera etc. He might have had it before IE crashed. There are hundred ways to download things without having a browser :rolleyes:

yes, there is- spybot has blasted a couple of those off of my machine...they are called hijackers, and they are listed as spyware, even tho technically they are more like trojan horses. But those either reset my IE to use them as my search engine, or would cause pop up scripts to hit me whenever I used the more popular searches like yahoo, google, msn, etc. Those were terrible, even using something like Webferet, I&#39;d get hit by them, since the feret would hit those particular search engines.
another thing that might be causing the problem is IE itself, sometimes, for reasons unknown, the "phantom administrator" (no I&#39;m not bullshitting) pops up. where IE&#39;s content advisor kicks in and starts blocking something (s) without being told to. It&#39;s a bug in the O/S itself, not a virus. Hrm..then again, isnt winblows a virus??? PC Magazine did an article, and a regedit fix on it. I cant find the article, but give this a try- (this is for win98 btw, it should be similar for xp.
start/run/type in REGEDIT
hkey_users>microsoft>internet explorer>media>suppress online content
it should say "no" there if the content advisor is turned off in IE. If you&#39;re not using a filter prog and it says "yes" or something, right click it, chose MODIFY, and type in NO, hit enter, and that hopefully will take care of it.

Never had that happen hear but i don&#39;t use ie so maybe that&#39;s why.
Also, btw Internet Explorer is slow. You should consider getting Ad-Aware 6
or Spybot Search and Destroy to remove spyware components too.
I use Ad-Aware btw&#33;

yeah, IE is slow, and its buggy, and it&#39;s full of security holes. Hrm...why the hell am I still using it?

my preference is for spybot. ad-aware doesnt look for enough of the known malwares
