JUST HAD BROADBAND
2 Answers
Have just had broadband installed, and installed Zonealarm firewall (as recommended by provider) However, when I re-booted computer, several folders attached themselves to my 'favourites' dropdown menu. Although I deleted them, everytime I go on the net, they re-appear. Does anyone know how to remove this so they permanantly stay off my computer?

Clamp down on them by downloading software such as Spybot: Search and Destroy (you can get that from www.download.com ) and get it to remove anything it finds, then - if the folders haven't already gone - try removing them again.
If all else fails, get mozilla web browser from www.mozilla.org which doesn't allow scripts to alter your environment like internet explorer does.
