I HATE ieplugin!!!!!

This is my first time starting a thread in teh Pit and I must confess I find its rules confining me, sigh. Here’s the story

A couple weeks ago i saw a new program box appear on my screen after I started internet explorer. Took me awhile to isolate (my screen was flashing and generally unresponsive) but i eventually found out that it was part of IExplorer aka inteligent explorer. I spent ten min getting everythign under control well enough to try an uninstall form control panel, failed miserably, then went to ieplugin.com, found uninstall instructions and downloaded their uninstall wizard. At this point I’m thinking “okay, at some point i clicked yes on a message box and gave permission to have them install this. I’ll just get rid of it and be more careful.” Since then the damn program has reinstalled itself twice. i know i didn’t give it permission the last two times. Going over their website, I realized that I couldn’t even send a complaint without giving them loads of personal shit.

Checking through google, i found out that this stuff is spyware plain and simple. tracks pretty much anything you type.

The sercuirty settings on my machine are at their defaults and i’m still having trouble with this freaken stuff. My eact feelings for this company/group/criminal organization are, as i said up top, not quite printable even here.

DAMN THEM!

Download Ad-aware and/or SpyBot - they should get rid of it for you.

That’s not so bad. Try to explain to a 70 year old churchlady where that “nekkid dancing girl” on the bottom of her screen came from.

To the OPer
Great name ya got happenin’ there. QTM and all the other Tolkienian geeks would be as proud as I am at this moment

I now return you to your regularly scheduled pitting.
