Editing BHOs used by Internet Explorer
You can edit the BHOs that run when you start Internet Explorer. BHOs are add-on programs that work with your browser. Some spyware and other potentially unwanted programs add BHOs without your knowledge.
*
Editing browser add-on items is for advanced users. Editing items in the list could cause your browser to not work properly or cause your computer to be unstable. Edit with extreme caution.
To edit BHOs used by Internet Explorer:
1.
From the Shields/Web Browser tab, click BHO Shield Options.
The Edit Browser Helper Objects window opens, with a list of the installed BHOs. Items with a check mark start whenever Internet Explorer starts. To see more information about an item, select it and click More Details. Not all programs provide additional details.
2.
Deselect any BHOs you do not want to start whenever Internet Explorer starts.
3.
Click OK.
