Webmaster Forum / Browsers / Internet Explorer / October 2004Spyware in IE6.0
I am using the latest updated version of IE6.0 and Internet Cleanup 4.0. When I adjust my toolbar I get a message that I have TinyBar spyware in my system. If I remove the TinyBar spyware, the next time I start my browser, the toolbar has reverted to its default setting. Microsoft claims to be interested in our personal security, so why is it putting spyware in its' programs? More importantly, how do I get rid of TinyBar without having the browser toolbar reverting to its default setting? I have tried removing the line that triggers it from my registry. The IE6.0 software just puts it back in the registry when I start my browser again. Thank you in advance for any suggestions you may have. you are mistaken YOU installed the software and now you need to remove it. download Ad-Aware from this site and run it http://www.download.com/3000-2144-10045910.html?part=69274&subj=dlpage&tag=button Wayne >I am using the latest updated version of IE6.0 and Internet Cleanup > 4.0.

I don't know if it was the same spyware (I didn't look to close, just deleted it) but after I installed IE6sp1 & ran Adaware, it found tracking software & explained that it was installed with & was part of IE6 !!!! My question is, why is Microsoft installing tracking software? >you are mistaken YOU installed the software and now you need to remove it. >download Ad-Aware from this site and run it [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] >> >> Thank you in advance for any suggestions you may have. -- Australia isn't "down under", it's "off to one side"! stanblaz@netspace.net.au www.cobracat.com (home of the Australian Cobra Catamaran) http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cobra-cat/ Good question! I guess Bill Gates wants to know more about us. So much for Microsoft and its supposed interest in personal privacy. >I don't know if it was the same spyware (I didn't look to close, just >deleted it) but after I installed IE6sp1 & ran Adaware, it found [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] >>> >>> Thank you in advance for any suggestions you may have. Thanks for the AdAware suggestion. I tried it. It does not find TinyBar at all, as Internet Cleanup 4.0 does, so if I want to keep the IE toolbar as I want rather than the IE default, I need to leave the TinyBar on my hard drive. >you are mistaken YOU installed the software and now you need to remove it. >download Ad-Aware from this site and run it [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] >> >> Thank you in advance for any suggestions you may have.
