Hi all,

I used access4less then switched to earthlink during which time I noticed that the earthlink-access4less was displayed on my internet explorer page.

Now I use DSL but when I click on my internet explorer icon, I get "login SBC yahoo-access4less along with a million pop ups.

Can somebody please help me?

To fix the IE title bar:

Removing a Branded Logo from IE
Added 11/6/01

If a vendor has replaced the normal Internet Explorer spinning logo with their own,
it is very easy to set it back to the default without editing the registry directly.

Go to Start / Run
Enter in rundll32 iedkcs32.dll,Clear
Now start up your browser and the spinning logo will be back to the default.

Change IE Title Bar Text
This tweak allows you to customize Internet Explorer by adding your own window title.

[Start] [Run] [Regedit]
Registry Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
Modify/Create the Value Name [Window Title] according to the Value Data listed below.
Data Type: REG_SZ [String Value] // Value Name: Window Title
Value Data: [Enter The Text Desired In Title Bar]
Exit Registry and Reboot

Regarding the popups, this is not the fault of A4L. I suspect that you have some malware on your computer. An expert here should be along to help you soon.

Hi, winmy. Sounds like Boz is right. If you'd like assistance with the popups, please post an Ad-Aware SE logfile. See the instructions here:  http://www.freedomlist.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17328  

Thanks.

I was able to get rid of the access4less title by following your directions and yes, I still have the pop up problem.

Thank you, I will post an Ad-ware SE log file Shiny
