I've recently signed up for BT/Yahoo broadband. What I didn't appreciate is that they would try and take over my PC.

I've stripped out all the startup's but don't know how to stop them forcing me to login and use their IE browser whenever I click on a new web-link from an email message. How do I remove this option and fire up a normal IE browser?

Thanks

Easy,

Download this www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ make it your default browser, import your Bookmarks and only use IE when you really have too!

I'm not sure if this will solve the problem but you can reset the program Outlook uses under

Tools>>Internet Options and then the Program tab, then Reset Web Settings button
