[simpits-tech] Getting spy ware off

[Steve Wilson]

To reset Internet Explorer Web settings:

If you installed another Web browser after installing Internet Explorer and
Internet Tools, some of your Internet Explorer settings may have changed.
You can reset your Internet Explorer settings to their original defaults,
including your home page and search pages, and choice of default browser,
without changing your other browser's settings.

..from the IE help tab.  Default browser changes are not spyware related,
AFAIK.
