unwanted favorites

stonekent

In my favorites some unwanted links have appeared and i cannot for the life of me get rid of them. when i right click on them the only option i get is "close toolbar"

Yet when i go into favourites file, the links are not there? and also when i go into organize, the links are not there? I'm at my wits end as to how to delete them,
any help here would be great.

Thanks to those who reply

Probably spyware. Download a spyware programme like adaware.

You can delete them by going to C:\Documents and Settings\user\Favorites.

I downloaded spyware Doctor the other day as it was mentioned in another post:

One of the things is does is search your favorites for addresses associated with spyware - never seen that before

If you get it, make sure you fully update it first - I though I had updated it then it came back and said it had more updates a few minutes later.

Thanks for your suggestions all,

finally managed to trace the rogue file by using the 'regedit' function, then boringly going through each file and i guessed it was the one called "nurb lies"

anyway deleted it and held my breath while i restarted pc....it worked!!!

no more crappy favorite links to dodgy sites
