Help! Free Internet Acts Like Virus.

[Xenon14]

Recently I had a free internet provider called Worldspy... Worldspy.com. Every time I loaded my IE, it prompted me to download new Juno software from their website. I deleted worldspy, cleared history, and deleted internet files. Now, when i log in (using different internet), when I try to go to certain websites, IE takes me to worldspy (which I no longer have). Luckily, it doesn't do that with Anandtech. Please help, I can't even visit my RC5-64 stats page!

Did you go to Windows Update and redownload and install IE 5.5?
Backup your favorites just in case.
Edit:
There is a button there to "uninstall" 5.5 if you already have it.....I don't think I would try that option.
Just reinstall/overwrite.

I have IE 5.0 and I've had it before WorldSpy... I'm sure that it's some file that makes me go to WorldSpy website instead of anywhere I want. And obviously, if I downloaded the gay Juno, that would've went away. The problem is, that I no longer have Worldspy... lol. CRAP. Can anyone get me out of this hell-hole?

Did you manually delete Cookies file & Temporary Internet File in Windows folder?

The Cookies & Temp Internet is where the ?Free Internet Services? imbedded their nasty ads & enforcement.

If Del the Cookies & Temp Net files don?t do it, then uninstall IE and re-delete the 2 mention files & Worldspy file, then run Registry edit to clean out unnecessary links/residue that maybe embedded in your registry from the Free Net Service.

Good Luck

Did you jusst try reinstalling IE. If it's fine then Worldspy screwed up IE

Run regedit and do a search for worldspy.com.... you may be able to find the problem that way
