I did use a different computer to get the programs, that's
how I ran them all. I'll try CWShredder tonight but to be
honest I'm not very confident if none of the others did
anything.
I can install a backup browser, but that too will have to
be put on cd and moved to my computer. my browser does not
work and i cannot download anything.
Do you have any idea what could be wrong with my browser?
