You may have been visiting sites your mother would not have approved of. At least that's what I've learned from problems I've had in the past and with my friends who aren't exactly computer literate.

If this icon links you to a porn site or runs a porno-related program when you double-click it, a program is probably running that causes it to keep being placed there. Check your task manager. Look for any programs with funny names or anything that doesn't look familiar. If this is a link that actually runs MS Office 2003, contact Microsoft for help.

Not a dirty bird here!

I have the same problem and both Webroot's spysweeper and Adware 6.0 won't knock it out. I also use Windows Washer after throwing it in the recycle bin. This is a work computer that's hooked up to a server and so far this is the only computer is has poped up on. No one looks at porn on this end of the office anyway!

please help !!!!

Have you checked to see if it has an entry in Add/Remove Programs. Alot of the spyware stuff actually provides an uninstall option in there.

Still there

Nothing is out of place. There is small business contacts for outlook 2003 with the lgo and then microsoft proff. edition 2003. I guess I'll call my tech guy back to fish it out and let you guys know what the deal is. Everytime I tell someone about they get all red int he face.

oh well.

    Looks like Google fixed whatever mistake that made the recipes on the site go crazy and we are no longer trending towards a recipe site lol - I don't care though because it motivated me to spend alot of time on the site improving it and at least now the content people are looking at is not stupid and embarrassing like it was when I first got back into this like 5 years ago.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Plus - I have a pretty bad ass recipe collection now! That section of the site is 10 thousand times better than it was before

    I got one more day of community service and then I'm free from this nonsense! I polished a cop car today for a funeral or something I guess
  • Varine Varine:
    They also were digging threw old shit at the sheriff's office and I tried to get them to give me the old electronic stuff, but they said no. They can't give it to people because they might use it to impersonate a cop or break into their network or some shit? idk but it was a shame to see them take a whole bunch of radios and shit to get shredded and landfilled

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences
