Anyone know of anything else that might work??


Mozilla works quite nice.    I'll be here all week.  Try the veal.  :lol:

I typically do the three prong attack to family's infected computers.  First, for cleaning up stuff, I typically use AdAware by Lavasoft.  Make sure you download the latest definitions files.  

Next I download and install Mozilla.

Finally, I set IE's proxy to 127.0.0.1, so nothing that uses the flawed IE components can access the internet.  Then I swap the Mozilla icon for the internet explorer 'e', and tell them I upgraded their internet explorer.  (I gave up trying to explain why Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox/Firebird/Phoenix are all the same browser.  And just calling it a new version of internet explorer has cut down on other "problems" they run into.  ;-)  )
