OK, this problem i'm having, i'm almost positive its to do with something on my computer

Whenever i click on interent explorer, it loads up, but then a second window loads, and in the bottom left hand corner (near the clock) there is a message "Ads served by InternetSoftware"

Does anyone have a fix for this?

P.S I would post a screenshot, but i have been banned from posting attachments, maybe a mod can help with this??

What programs have you tried scanning with?

I recommend Ad-Aware (too bad they stopped for support for SE Personal, so you'll have to go with the free version of 2007) and Spybot for "second opinion" scanners.

If this is still an issue, Try reading this:

Very similar problem. Same solution will probably work.

I posted this same link on another forum about a week after you posted this one here. Same exact problem. Maybe it's you, I don't know. Whoever posted there never responded to say whether or not the issue was resolved.
