How do you get rid of an internet file that pops up everytime you log on?

Answer 1

Check in Start -> Program Files -> Startup . Make sure that there is no internet file in there. If there is one, delete it or move it away from that folder.

If that does not solve the problem. Download Spybot Search and Destroy from safer-networking.org and run the search. Use this software to remove all the spyware that might have caused the problem.

If that still does not help then, go to Start -> Run... -> type in "msconfig" . Move to Startup tab and carefully scroll through the list. There should be one suspicious program that you don't know. Simply uncheck that box next to that program and next time you start your computer, it will not be loaded. Note: The final step should be carefully done or you might disable some features that you need.

MSconfig is the manual way of deleting cached internet files but it is risky so only disable one at a time and try it. Most likely you downloaded some form of adware, or spyware either by temporary internet files, active x, or just plain shareware, etc. their are some very good programs designed to prevent these startup windows from executing upon boot up like.
