IE8 Title Bar unwanted entry.
IE8 Title Bar unwanted entry.
- I just run WinXP Pro and update IE to IE8. Much to my surprise, (Microsoft is American right? therefore English) in the IE8 title bar a sentence (message?) appeared :"Sowar? PagSureOy!!! Guba gyud nang PC nimo!" I don't know what it means or what is it for. Even though I change sites. the message is alway appended in the end of the title of the web page I just opened. Is there any significance to this? Is there a way to delete/erase it?
Enlighten me. Thanks,
NatzGS

- Hi NatzGS,
Sounds like your machine is infected with malware. Please download and install Microsoft Security Essentials from:

and clean your machine.
Hope this helps,

- You might also try clearing your IE cache and cookies. Click Tools-> Internet Options. Then in the Browsing history click Delete... and Make sure Cookies and Temporary Internet files is checked and click Delete.
-Matt - Thanks, but it did'nt work. Secueirty essential acanned my computer a found a lot of threats but it cannot delete or remove the same. I don't know why but the prompt say it cannot remove it. I have to download some files, but it did'nt work. Is there any other way?
- Hi RobSchee,
I tried your suggestion but it didn't work. i already have Microsoft Security Essentials installed. It I dentified the virus/malware but it could not remove it. I was thinking of reformatting my hard drive but then I have to reinstall windows XP. My problem would be; can I reactivate my OS what if the title bar unwanted entry would still be there. - Hi NatzGS,
You can always reactivate your OS after a reinstall. Depending on how many times you've activated already, it might be necessary to phone for activation as opposed to activate through the Internet.
About the title bar entry: I'm pretty sure this will be gone after a reinstall.
Hope this helps!
