Losing Favorites

Using Win2000P, IE6 SP1. Lately, I lose newly added 'Favorites' as soon as
I close my browser. Also, Favorites that I've deleted reappear. What's
up!? Sanford

My guess is that you've got one of those funky content toolbars installed,
either with or without your knowledge.

Have you run Ad-Aware recently using the most recent update? It will find
such things for you: http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/

Download, install then check for updates, then run a complete system scan.
You'll be amazed at what it finds.

I use Ad-Aware SE, Spybot S&D 1.4, and Spy Sweeper 3.5.0 regularly, all with
the latest definitions, and they find nothing. Thanks for the help, though.
If anyone has any other ideas, I'd appreciate hearing them. Sanford
