I’m getting really annoyed with my computer at the moment. For the second time it has done something which causes so much stress when using the computer.
When you type a keyword into the Internet Explorer address bar, you are able to search for webpages. In the past 24 hours, my computer has suddenly signed itself up with http://www.orbitexplorer.com/ and change some of my settings which I can’t seem to change back. When you search through Internet Explorer now, you get some useless new search engine being used opposed to MSN or Google.co.uk which is what I wanted. My home page was set to Orbit Explorer and I am getting many pop-up advertisements, perhaps 1 every 5 minutes which I am not happy with.
I’m the only one who has used this computer since the problem has occurred and I have not agreed to install any program or change any settings on my computer. The simple things like changing the home page back to a website of my choice is easily rectifiable, but as for putting a stop to the crap search engine which searches for irrelevant websites, it’s not budging.
How do I get rid of this rubbish (and the pop-ups)? Any help is greatly appreciated.
