whenever I do a search query in google or yahoo using internet
explorer 6 I get really weird results.  they are not normal results. 
i believe that i have a foreign software program on my computer that
is interfering with how ie operates.  also, if try to check backlinks
using the google toolbar on internet explorer, i get 75,000 back links
for every website I look at.  can someone tell me how to fix this
error??  thanks!

Clarification of Question by ashort003-ga on 07 Feb 2005 07:48 PST

As a clarification, Norton Antivirus found the following files that it
says are harmful, but for some reason it can't remove them:

tmp10.tmp
tmp14.tmp
tmp2a.tmp
tmpB.tmp

Since you probably want an answer ASAP, I'll give you the quick info
so you have somewhere to start.  Here are some things you can try...

First, try rebooting your computer in safe mode (sometimes your virus
program can't delete the virus files because they are in use) and
running your antivirus program again.

You can also try using a different anti-virus program.  AVG has a free version:

Try spyware removers (not the same as virus removers).  There are two
main free anti "spyware" programs, "Ad Aware" and "Spybot Search and
Destroy":

In addition, Microsoft now has a free program for getting rid of
adware/spyware/whatever:

You should probably post the location of the files you mentioned
because some files might be harmless/normal in one folder but
suspicious in others.

try to make an on-line scan for viruses and spyware's.
p.s:install another browser .. mozilla firefox(the 1.0 version is more
stable) is the best browser from my point of view!
