Want to get rid of porn on your PC?

Question

How do I remove porn from computer. I see it on Adaware & Norton Scans listed under

C:\documents and settings\user\complete

I can't find that file when I conduct a search, but see numerous files being scanned that contain filthy words.

Thanks!

This question was answered on November 26, 2005. Much of the information contained herein may have changed since posting.

Try using this helpful utility: ToolBarCop

And /or the manual registry fix: (backup the registry first)

Start Registry Editor (Regedit.exe)

Go to the following location and check each GUID sub-key, one of which is the malware toolbar entry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions

Also check this sub-key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions

(check the values in the right-pane to identify the malware toolbar.)

Once you find the correct entry, delete the appropriate key.

Once again, remember to back-up teh registry and your my documents before trying these fixes.
