Thank you for your reply. I ran spybot search & destroy. Just downloaded
and used the ad-aware and that cleaned out quite a bit of stuff. If I go
back into IE the buttons are still there and the icons are still in my
doucments. I did the scan again and ad-aware came up with two more items
which it called tracking cookies. I removed them again. I did another scan
and came up clean then went back online and opened IE - scanned and came up
with the same two items. So they are still going to keep coming back till I
shoot them right where it hurts somehow!!
