threeornothing Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Chuck on Spybothttp://fileforum.betanews.com/sendfile/1043809773/1/spybotsd14.exeAnd the latest updateshttp://www.spybotupdates.com/updates/files/spybotsd_includes.exeAnd run a scan. Sounds like it could be an IE hijack.....firefox is cool, but the tabbed browing sometimes get a bit annoying when you close a window then realise you've lost about 15 different pages you had open. Does anyone know if this can be turned off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
