Help! How do I get my name back? -> Firewalls -> Ad blockers

[Ragnarok]

Yes, I agree whole heartedly with tbontob. Adaware is a great program. I use it alot and it helps keep my computer running at peak efficiancy. A friend of mine who is a computer technician introduced me to this program and we ran it on my mothers computer. It turned up around 500 or so. we cleaned them up and her computer runs alot better now.
So I, along with tbontob, strongly recommend using that program.

I have a question:

I'm using IE6 and I have a couple of web addresses that are permanently affixed in the address history when autocomplete is on for months now, regardless of how many times I've cleared files, history and cookies etc...what the hell is up with that? How did I banish them for good!?

I'm going to guess that they aren't the Educational type sites

Cookies won't do it, but clearing history, close the browser, then reopen it works for me.

I found this under the help nenu...
=================================
To delete Autocomplete entries from the Address bar list

The AutoComplete feature saves previous entries you've made for Web addresses, forms, and passwords. To delete entries from the Address bar, you must clear your History folder. You cannot clear individual entries from the list of saved entries.

On the Tools menu in Internet Explorer, click Internet Options.
Click the General tab.
Under History, click Clear History.
Notes

When typing information in Web forms, and typing passwords, you can remove an item from the list of suggestions by clicking the item and then pressing the DELETE key.
For Help on an item, click at the top of the dialog box, and then click the item.

No, I don't think you understand.

It is not the normal clear history, autocomplete, etc, thing - I've tried a gazillion times and that doesn't work. They have been around for months now and won't leave.

They don't show up after I've cleared the history etc, until I type "http://www.c " then it autocompletes with "http://www.cbs/primetime/bigbrother" when it shouldn't since the history file is empty.

Hmmmm

Wonder what would happen if you set the "number of days to keep in history" to 0, and then type "http://www.c "

And people ask me why I don't use IE! Just one of those nice little presents given to you by MS I'm betting.
