Aloha. Lately, when I do IE searches, instead of going to a chosen site, IE
takes
me to some other site (Search Explorer, etc). and first says Jump.
What the heck is this, and how do I get rid of it?
Thanks.

Hi,
This might be an add-on that hooked itself to your IE and now controls your
searches. I also presume it advises that your system is infected with
viruses and that you have to download an antivirus from the following links,
etc. etc.
To treat this, go to Tools menu, look for something like "Manage add-ons"
and look for whatever add on that looks weird. When you find it, disable it
and go to /system32 and remove the dll.

Uninstall IE 8 RC 1 and wait until the software is released.

Matter of fact it is IE8. However, I onbly recently instaled IE*beta, and
the same thing was going on with IE7.
Thanks.

Please state your IE version and full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3;
Vista SP1) when posting to this newsgroup.
