Q: I am running WinME. I
After startup and press CTRL-ALT-DEL to close program box will appear. There is a program called MSbb and I have no idea where it came from or what it is. It was probably loaded from the internet by accident while surfing. Anyway, this program is running, my internet explorer 6.0 will not open. If I manually close the program MSbb in the close program box, then Internet Explorer will begin fine.
Is there a way I can load this program MSbb primarily on startup? The system does not show and I do not know how to remove it.
Thanks!
Re:The suggestions were great. My system is like new again.
I am surprised that spy software can be installed while I am surfing without notification. I thought the medium security level setting on Internet explorer would prevent that. Is there any browser setting that will stop spyware, or do I absolutely need to install some type of blocker ?
I can understand that some websites need to fund themselves when I visit their page by displaying pop ups and other ads, but it is complete BS that ads get displayed that have no affiliation with the website I am using.
Re:Spyblaster 3.1 is out now and will help keep adware and spyware from loading while your surfing.
It works very well and is free. give it a try. it also has frequent free update.
I think you will be very happy with it's performance.
Re:Ad-Aware 6 with it's newest updates is the best spyware blocker I've found. And if you need to take out anything from the startup, use msconfig or hit the registry at hkeylocalmachine/software/microsoft/windows/currentversion/run

Re:The Anandtech guys always come through for me !
Thanks !
Re:MSbb is part of the "nCase" spyware. Download and run Spybot Search and Destroy, it should get rid of it.
Re:Wow, that looks like exactly what I need.
Thanks guy !

between these two you should be able to edit the system startup list.
