i screwed up and need help
Running Windows 2000
Internet Explorer 5.00
Please Help! On Friday I was searching the web and clicked on a site. When I did this I had about 10 windows pop up at the same time and for each one that I closed 3 would pop up in its place. Finally an error occurred and shut itself down. When I restarted my computer there were 2 icons that were on my desktop. I deleted them but don’t recall what they said. I know one was titled “g1” but I can’t remember the other. Now I am having all kinds of problems. Icons keep appearing on my task bar. One labeled “C:\WINDOWS\dl.html-Microsoft Internet Explorer” and the other is labeled “Connector object-Microsoft Internet Explorer.” I can’t open either one of these and when I right click on it there is no window to open. There is no properties option so I can’t tell what it is. I can close the “Windows” one by right clicking but I have to “ctrl-alt-del” to close the “connector object.” Every time I close them they keep reopening every 5 minutes or so. My computer is also running at 100%. When I open I.E. back up I either get 2 pages. When the programs aren’t open I get an “about blank” page but when they are open I get a “cool search engine” page. When I close that window another opens and it is a porn page. I am also getting pop ups now and I tried to download “spybot” but the connector program keeps opening and it causes the download to stall. This is my work computer and I really don’t want to tell my boss about it. If anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
